San Francisco Cop Accused of Misusing Confidential Databases


Cicero S. Estrella writes in The San Francisco Chronicle:

A 17-year veteran of the San Francisco Police Department was arrested Monday on 40 felony counts of misusing confidential computer databases, police said.

The district attorney's office charged Sgt. Andre Fontenot with accessing a computer network to wrongfully control data and using data from a computer system or network without permission. The 40 counts include two counts each for 20 victims whose information Fontenot allegedly accessed through databases, according to the district attorney's office.

Fontenot, 46, used the database information for personal reasons, according to the police department's Special Investigations Division, which conducted an 18-month investigation.
