About this actor

US-citizen NOAA hydrologist arrested in 2014 on charges related to allegedly improperly accessing a federal dams database; the Department of Justice dropped all charges in March 2015 without explanation. She was nonetheless fired in 2016; she ultimately reached a $1.8M settlement with the US government in 2022.
