\n IOWA CITY, Iowa \u2014 Prosecutors in Iowa have filed a rarely used leak charge against Black Lives Matter protesters accused of stealing a confidential police document and displaying it during a television news<\/a> broadcast.<\/p>\n

Two protesters are charged with unauthorized dissemination of intelligence data, a felony that carries up to five years in prison.<\/p>\n

The Iowa Judicial Branch says it\u2019s only the second time that the charge has been filed since 2010. It\u2019s intended to punish officers and others who share information that could undermine criminal investigations or violate privacy protections.<\/p>\n

The document in question was a Des Moines Police Department bulletin that officers and state troopers had with them while patrolling a July 1 protest at the Iowa Capitol. The bulletin included photos of suspects who were wanted in the destruction of a Des Moines police car during a June 20 protest.<\/p>\n

Alexandria Dea, 26, took the intelligence bulletin from an officer\u2019s back pocket during a confrontation between officers and protesters, which began after officers arrested three of the suspects inside the Capitol, the criminal complaint against her alleges.<\/p>\n

Protesters later gathered at the Polk County Jail to demand the release of those arrested during the clash. While there, 21-year-old Viet Tran discussed and displayed the bulletin during an interview that was broadcast on WOI-TV, an ABC affiliate, according to a complaint.<\/p>\n

The first page of the four-page document has a notice warning that it shouldn\u2019t be shared or released publicly, and that doing so would violate Iowa code.<\/p>\n

Des Moines police spokesman Sgt. Paul Parizek said it was difficult to assess whether any harm resulted from its dissemination. But he said such bulletins contain confidential information such as driver\u2019s license numbers that must be protected under the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is my first experience with it ever being app<\/a>lied to anyone outside law enforcement, but obviously the circumstances were pretty unique,\u201d Parizek said. \u201cThose documents are not supposed to be shared. It\u2019s actually written on them. As soon as they did that, the charge was appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tran remained jailed Tuesday on a complaint alleging he violated the terms of his probation from an assault case when he interfered with officers at the July 1 protest.<\/p>\n

The television story didn\u2019t show the name or face of the person speaking about the document, but Parizek said police identified the source as Tran.<\/p>\n

The reporter who included the bulletin in her story and tweeted photos of the document has not been charged.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wouldn\u2019t be appropriate to hold a reporter accountable for trying to do their job,\u201d Parizek said. \u201cThey get more leeway than the average person would.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reporter Eva Andersen and the station declined comment.<\/p>\n

Polk County Attorney John Sarcone, a long-serving Democrat whose office filed the charges, didn\u2019t return a phone message.<\/p>\n

His office also charged Dea with felony theft for allegedly stealing the bulletin and throwing an officer\u2019s radio that had fallen to the ground. That charge carries up to 10 years in prison.<\/p>\n

Dea, who is free after posting $15,000 bond, declined comment. But her friend and fellow protester Jaylen Cavil said the charges were baseless.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are attempting to scare and silence us by stacking these fabricated felony charges on young people,\u201d he said. \u201cThey know that this can ruin people\u2019s lives, and that\u2019s why they\u2019re doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The law defines intelligence data as information \u201ccompiled in an effort to anticipate, prevent, or monitor possible criminal activity.\u201d Anyone who improperly obtains or shares it can be charged.<\/p>\n

In the last time the law was used, a Wayne County sheriff\u2019s office employee was charged in 2016 with leaking information to suspects in drug and drunk driving cases. Ultimately, prosecutors dropped two counts and she pleaded guilty to interference with official acts.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
