A Wichita Airport Authority, (WAA), officer/firefighter has been charged with computer crimes, according to a release from the City of Wichita on Wednesday.
Lt. Matthew Hoyt has been charged with two counts of Computer Crimes by the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
Wichita Police, (WPD), officials learned of an incident involving Lt. Hoyt in June.
After the incident, detectives learned Hoyt had previously accessed and printed criminal reports from the WPD records management system. The WAAs Chief of Police, Chief Xanders requested the WPD to lead the investigation to avoid a conflict of interest.
Hoyt has been employed with the Wichita Airport Authority for 22 years and has been indefinitely removed from his supervisor position and all commissioned law enforcement officer duties pending outcome of the investigation. As Hoyt is also a certified airport fire fighter and EMT, his duty assignment is restricted to fire and medical duties.
The case was presented to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's Office.
