In October 2024, Marcus L. Okafor — an eleven-year Idaho State Police trooper assigned to District 3 patrol out of the Meridian post — was charged in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho with 14 counts of unauthorized access to a protected computer under 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(2), 9 counts of wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1343, Driver's Privacy Protection Act violations under 18 U.S.C. § 2721, and multiple Idaho state charges including computer crime and bribery of a public servant, after an FBI investigation revealed he had conducted 1,840 unauthorized queries through the state Criminal Justice Information System and federal NCIC database over a 26-month period spanning June 2022 through August 2024. Okafor sold driver histories, current addresses, registered vehicle records, and household-member data to three private investigation firms in the Boise–Nampa corridor, charging between $150 and $750 per query and collecting confirmed payments totaling $284,000 in prepaid Visa gift cards mailed to a P.O. box in Caldwell, Idaho, while masking each unauthorized lookup with fabricated officer-safety justifications in the state system. The investigation was triggered when a Nampa woman — whose ex-husband had hired a PI during a custody dispute — filed a complaint after learning her current address had been obtained through a state police source; a full audit revealed Okafor had queried her record without any corresponding traffic stop, dispatch log, or incident report. A search of his personal truck recovered $11,400 in prepaid cards and a pocket notebook listing 1,840 query targets by name, each crossed off in pen — the only audit log that had ever captured the full scope of what he sold. ——————— Disclaimer: This video is a dramatization based on real events.
