Man sentenced in Roudebush computer theft

Posted: April 14, 2009

A Speedway man has pleaded guilty to theft for stealing three computers from the Roudebush Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

Joseph A. Radican, 51, was sentenced to 18 months probation after entering the plea Tuesday in Marion Superior Court.

Radican also agreed to supply information that will help authorities recover the three stolen computers, said Mario Massillamany, spokesman for Prosecutor Carl Brizzi.

One of the missing computers contained names, birth dates and Social Security numbers of more than 11,000 Veterans who were patients at the hospital.

Veterans Affairs office officials said there is no indication the patients' information has been used. The FBI and the VA have posted a $10,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of the computers.

Two desktops and one laptop disappeared from the medical center on Nov. 10, 2007.

Radican, who had been a patient at the center, was identified through medical center surveillance video taken on the day the computers disappeared, prosecutors said.

Investigators said Radican tried to pawn the laptop computer and a flat-screen monitor, but the pawn shop worker refused them.
