FORMER ST. TAMMANY D.A. EMPLOYEE AND PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR PLEAD GUILTY IN GOVERNMENT COMPUTER ACCESS SCHEME

January 23, 2009

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VICKY LYNN MUNN, age 42, a resident of Traverse City, MI, and TODD KELLY, age (40), a resident of River Ridge, LA, pled guilty yesterday in federal court before Judge Martin L.C. Feldmann to federal felonies involving conspiracy to exceed authorized access to a government database, announced U.S. Attorney Jim Letten today.

According to the factual basis, the scheme involved MUNN, a former supervisor in the worthless checks division of the St. Tammany Parish District Attorney’s Office, generating National Crime Information Center (NCIC) criminal histories, or “rap sheets,” the legitimate use of which is confined to law enforcement activities, and then selling these reports to KELLY, a private investigator, on various occasions from 2003 to May of 2005.

Both KELLY and MUNN are scheduled to be sentenced before Judge Feldman on May 14, 2009 and face a possible maximum prison term of five (5) years, a fine of $250,000, and a special assessment fee of $100.

The case was investigated by Special Agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Michael E. McMahon.
