Pensacola Man Arrested For Theft Of Computer With 8,000 Medical Records
February 23, 2010
A man suspected of stealing a computer that contained thousands of medical records in December has been arrested.
Joseph A. Bodovetz, 59, of 1245 Grand Ridge Circle, Gulf Breeze, turned himself in to the Pensacola Police Department Monday. He was charged with burglary and grand theft of emergency medical equipment. He is being held in the Escambia County Jail in lieu of $20,000 bond.
The computer was stolen December 19 from Cardiology Consultants, and the group said they become aware of the theft on December 21 and and immediately began a thorough investigation with authorities.
The computer contained the first and last names, dates of birth, medical record numbers, exam dates and in some cases, the reason for the ultrasound for about 8,000 patients — including many in the North Escambia area.
Pensacola Police Detective Chad Willhite said video surveillance shows a man using a security coded keypad to enter the office area on Dec19. The man, who was pushing a large gray rolling container, can be seen leaving the office after about 1 ½ to two minutes. A short time later he is seen removing an item from the container and placing it into the trunk of a car.
Bodovetz was identified by Cardiology Consultant employees who recognized him on surveillance video. The employees told Willhite the suspect was an employee of Crown Health Care Laundry Service, which handles linen for the company.
Willhite said the computer has not been recovered. It also has not yet been determined if Bodovetz accessed personal information contained on the computer.

The video is blurry and has minimal resemblance to the suspect. It wouldn’t surprise me if the two employees set this up. If the video identification is all there is to arrest this guy then somebaody isn’t doing their job. Not that that would surprise me.

Glad they finally captured this man, hopefully he wasn’t smart enough to access all of the information on this computer and that it will be turned back over to the doctors office…
