   (Reuters) - A National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration   
   (NOAA) employee in Ohio has been charged with stealing sensitive   
   information from a federal database for the nation's dams and   
   lying about the breach to federal agents, prosecutors said.   
      
   Xiafen "Sherry" Chen, 59, was arrested on Monday at the NOAA   
   office in Wilmington, Ohio, about 50 miles northeast of   
   Cincinnati, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District   
   of Ohio said in a statement on Monday.   
      
   Chen was charged with theft, illegally accessing a federal   
   database and two counts of making false statements to   
   investigators. She could be sentenced to up to 10 years in   
   prison if convicted on the theft charge and five years each if   
   convicted on the other charges, prosecutors said.   
      
   Chen was accused of accessing restricted areas of the National   
   Inventory of Dams on various days in May 2012 and downloading   
   sensitive files and providing false information to investigators   
   in June 2013, prosecutors said.   
      
   The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the National Dam Safety   
   Review Board maintain the database, which consists of dams   
   meeting certain hazard or height criteria.
