California authorities have hit two Golden State men with misdemeanor charges for selling an Apple iPhone 4 prototype the pair found in a bar to a popular technology blog in the spring of 2010.

San Mateo County, Calif., District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe announced the criminal complaints against Brian Hogan, 22, of Redwood City, Calif., and Sage Wallower, 28, of Emeryville, Calif., Aug. 10. Hogan and Wallower are both charged with one count of misappropriation of lost property. Wallower faces an additional charge of possession of stolen property. Prosecutors must still ask a grand jury to indict the men, San Mateo Assistant District Attorney Morley Pitt said.
