The case opened when 241 records, complete with Personally Identifiable Information (PII), were found dumped in the woods;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>One of the ex-employees, Lonnie Halkmon, 28, was sentenced Thursday to two years of probation and ordered to perform 40 hours of community service. The other, Stanley Engram, 21, is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 7. Both pleaded guilty of destruction of government records. Federal guidelines call for a sentence from probation to six months behind bars.<\/p>\n<p>Court documents show that the files in the woods were traced to Engram, who admitted disposing of them, \u201cabandoning\u201d others in the center and throwing some away at home. In all, he admitted destroying or deliberately misfiling more than 1,000 records.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>[Engram&#8217;s lawyer, Eric] Banks stressed that \u201cnobody has been denied or lost any benefits as a result of any of this.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, no, not yet.
