A man arrested in central Arkansas by U.S. marshals Wednesday is not accused of stealing patient information at Arkansas Children's Hospital, a U.S. attorney's office spokesman said.
A U.S. Marshals Service spokesman originally said the 50-year-old arrested on a probation revocation charge was a "person of interest" in a fraud case at the Little Rock hospital, but Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Givens said later Wednesday that there has been no person of interest or suspect identified in the fraud case.
In a statement, the Little Rock hospital said it learned May 9 that a former employee was under investigation “for misuse of information for personal gain.”
CORRECTION: Citing incorrect information from the U.S. Marshals Service, a previous version of this story wrongly linked a 50-year-old man to a case at Arkansas Children's Hospital.
