North Wales' own Tom Cipriano, better known as Howard Stern's prank phone call obsessed buddy Captain Janks, just broke into live coverage by LA affiliate KCBS of the police shootout of rogue ex-cop Christopher Dorner.

Janks pretends to be an employee of the U.S. Fish and Game Department, speaking on behalf of the first man to spot Dorner. Then Janks says Ronnie the Limo Driver, Stern's head of security, was the first person to shoot at Dorner.

Screen your phone calls, TV people.

Former Philly CBS anchor Alycia Lane, now an anchor for the NBC affiliate in LA, weighed in:
