A judge dismissed a charge against an FBI worker in Idaho accused of tipping off her husband about a child pornography investigation.
Local News 8 reports that 6th District Magistrate Judge Rick Carnaroli dismissed the charge, saying the state didn’t meet its burden of proof.
Prosecutors alleged Jennifer Barnett, head of building security at the FBI office in Pocatello, informed her husband about the investigation before it was completed.
Because the charge was dismissed without prejudice, the state could refile charges against Barnett.
