A Polk County sheriff's deputy was arrested today, accused of using her agency-issued computer to access law enforcement databases and giving out information to a person not authorized to have it.
Kimberly Torres, 23, of Lakeland was charged with two felony counts of unlawful use of a computer, the sheriff's office said.
Torres has been suspended without pay pending her termination from the sheriff's office, spokeswoman Carrie Eleazer said in a statement.
Torres' computer was seized Friday after detectives received a tip that she had accessed a Florida Department of Law Enforcement database for a matter not related to her duties as a deputy, Eleazer said.
Torres became a deputy in 2006 after working for two years in the Polk County Animal Control Department, Eleazer said.
The investigation is ongoing.
