The warden of a federal prison in San Bernardino County was indicted Wednesday on charges of disclosing confidential information about a pending criminal investigation and then lying to investigators about having done so, authorities said. <\/p>\n
Scott A. Holencik, warden of a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility in Adelanto, is charged in a six-count indictment, which includes two felony counts of making false statements to investigators, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angles. <\/p>\n
Holencik, 45, is accused of lying to investigators from the Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General last year in connection with a probe into Internet postings that disclosed confidential information.<\/p>\n
If convicted of all counts, Holencik faces a maximum of 14 years in federal prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. <\/p>\n
