A 17-year veteran of the San Francisco Police Department was arrested
Monday on 40 felony counts of misusing confidential computer databases,
police said.

The district attorney's office charged Sgt. Andre Fontenot with
accessing a computer network to wrongfully control data and using data
from a computer system or network without permission. The 40 counts
include two counts each for 20 victims whose information Fontenot
allegedly accessed through databases, according to the district
attorney's office.

Fontenot, 46, used the database information for personal reasons,
according to the police department's Special Investigations Division,
which conducted an 18-month investigation.
