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.
