Federal Prison Warden Idicted On Charges Of Lying To Investigators

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.

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.

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.

If convicted of all counts, Holencik faces a maximum of 14 years in
federal prison, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
