HONOLULU (AP) — The Latest on the mistaken missile alert in Hawaii (all times local): 1:15 p.m. Not all cellphones in Hawaii received last weekend's false alarm missile alert. A Federal Communications Commission official told lawmakers at the Hawaii State Legislature on Friday that may have happened in part because cellphone carriers may choose not to participate in the nation's Wireless Emergency Alert system. FCC attorney and adviser James Wiley says some carriers may also offer the service only to some geographic areas and only to some mobile devices. He says some cellphones may not be capable of receiving the alerts and that cellphone users also have the choice to opt out of receiving emergency alert notifications.

He recently applied for the police academy, but he never really follows through with anything.
