Police Employee Charged

Release posted on 06-13-24 at 2:36 p.m.

A civilian employee at the St. Petersburg Police Dept., Robin Conyers, age 59, faces charges for accessing confidential police databases to provide information to a man who used it to commit a crime. She was booked into the Pinellas County Jail today and has been placed on administrative leave without pay, pending the outcome of the criminal charges.

Background:
Conyers' supervisor noticed entries that were not work-related during a routine quarterly audit. The information was turned over to the Office of Professional Standards to investigate. Detectives found that not only did Conyers violate Police Department policies, but she also committed a crime.

She shared information on the deceased owner of a vehicle to Delon Walton. Walton then used the information to fraudulently transfer the title of the vehicle to his own company. St. Petersburg Police arrested Walton last month on various charges.

Conyers is charged with:
-unlawful use of a two-way communication device -offenses against computer users -misuse of confidential information

This is an ongoing investigation.
