AG: Man Leaked Confidential Info

A Tionesta man is accused of leaking an e-mail about a drug investigation to a friend whose sister was named in it.

Forty-one-year-old Scott Henry, the chief information technology officer for Forest County, is charged with obstruction and hindering apprehension or prosection.

Attorney General Tom Corbett says Henry came across an e-mail from the U.S. Forest Service about a suspected marijuana growing operation on national forest land.

The e-mail contained surveillance information and a list of people associated with the investigation.

Corbett says the marijuana-growing operation was soon abandoned.

Henry is free on bond and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for October 13.
