PHOENIX (AP) — A former Honeywell International Inc. employee is charged with computer fraud for allegedly meeting with FBI agents pretending to be Mexican cartel members interested in buying access to a location-tracking system.
A criminal complaint filed in federal court says Robert Jeremy Miller of Phoenix was arrested Friday after meeting with the undercover agents and allegedly demonstrating how to log into a satellite-based system that corporate and government customers of Honeywell use to track aircraft, vehicles and vessels.
Court papers say Honeywell in February terminated Miller as a senior project management specialist responsible for administering the satellite tracking system.
A judge on Monday ordered that Miller remain in custody pending a detention hearing Wednesday. His defense attorney didn't immediately return a call for comment on the allegations.
