SEDGWICK COUNTY —The Sedgwick County District Attorney's office charged Wichita Police Department (WPD) Administrative Secretary Mia Turner with one felony count of unlawful use of a computer, according to police department spokesman Officer Trevor Macy.

The charges stem from an investigation into the unauthorized release of classified information related to a criminal case in January of this year.

Turner has been employed by the Wichita Police Department for 14 years in a nonsworn administrative role within the department. She has been placed on unpaid administrative leave pending the outcome of the criminal case and an internal investigation conducted by the Wichita Police Department.
