Connecticut Police Sergeant Charged With Computer Crime
Frank Washkuch Jr. writes on SC Magazine US:
A Hartford, Conn., police sergeant has been charged with a computer
crime after he allegedly disclosed information from a national law
enforcement database to a female friend.
Sgt. Reginald Allen, a 17-year veteran of the city's police force,
was arrested Monday and charged with committing a computer crime in
the third degree, a felony, by disclosing information he obtained
from the National Crime Information Center, a network for federal,
state and local law enforcement authorities.
Allen's associate then reportedly used to information to harass her
ex-boyfriend's pregnant girlfriend by leaving messages on her work
and mobile phones and placing a letter in her mailbox. On one
occasion, the woman in possession of the sensitive data claimed to
have friends in the Hartford Police Department, according to
published reports.
