BRADENTON -- A
Bradenton police officer has been suspended without pay for one month for
reportedly accessing a police database for non-law enforcement purposes.
Officer Adam
Wollard was suspended last month after he was found guilty of misusing access
to the State of Florida's Driver and Vehicle Information Database following an
investigation by Bradenton Police Department Internal Affairs.
Wollard accessed
the DAVID system July 23, 2011, to retrieve drivers license information
involving more than 200 people, including fellow police officers, former city
and police department employees and civilians.
The incident was
discovered when a records request prompted the Department of Highway Safety and
Motor Vehicles to be notified a search by Wollard of State Attorney General Pam
Bondi had been conducted Nov. 27, 2010.
Wollard did not
deny misusing the database.
