Angry Employee Deletes All of Company's Data: 41-year-old Marie Lupe Cooley deletes 7 years' worth of architectural drawing and blueprints, which is estimated to be worth $2.5 million, after she sees a help-wanted ad by her company in the newspapers that looks like her job thinking that she is going to get fired.

"She decided to mess up everything for everybody," Jacksonville Sheriff's Office spokesman Ken Jefferson told reporters. "She just sabotaged the entire business, thinking she was going to get axed." It didn't take Steven Hutchins, owner of the architectural firm that bears his name, much time to figure out who'd done it — Cooley was the only other person who had full access to the files. Police arrested Cooley Monday evening and charged her with causing greater than $1,000 damage to computer files, a felony. She was bailed out the following afternoon.
