Pima County Correction Officers Arrested http://www.privateofficer.com
Pima County AZ. OCT 10 2008
Two Pima County corrections officers who work at the jail have been arrested for illegally accessing a secure computer database. FBI agents have not revealed what information they obtained or were looking for.
Sameer Qasem, a 5 year employee at the Pima County jail, and Keith Doty, a 2 year employee, were arrested by FBI agents this morning. The FBI says between March 2007 and May 2008, the two men illegally accessed a jail computer database.
FBI assistant special agent in charge Amy Hess says, “Basically they were accessing the information in that computer for unauthorized purposes, meaning purposes not relating to work.”
Qasem is charged with 26 counts of computer tampering, while Doty is charged with 8 counts of computer tampering.
FBI agents also arrested Sameer Qasem’s brother, Jameel Qasem, for having fake driver’s licenses and social security cards. He’s charged with fraud and forgery. As to how the three arrests connect, Hess says, “That’s still being investigated and we’re certainly looking into all possibilities and what they might have been doing with that information.”
The FBI’s Southern Arizona Corruption Task Force worked jointly with the Pima County Sheriff’s Internal Affairs on this case.
