A Florida woman, fearing she was about to be fired from her job, was arrested this week for allegedly deleting seven year's worth of her employer's architectural data.
Marie Cooley, 41, was arrested after entering the offices of Steven E. Hutchins Associates in Jacksonville, Fla., and deleting $2.5 million in files after seeing an advertisement for a job similar to hers in classified advertisements.
Cooley has been charged with damaging computers in excess of $1,000, a second-degree felony. If convicted, she faces up to five years in prison, according to Ken Jefferson, Jacksonville Sherriff's Office public information officer.
Cooley entered the office to pick up her W-2 file Sunday night when she deleted the data and pulled network cables out of place, Jefferson said.
