SANTA FE, N.M. -- The former Los Alamos National Laboratory
worker who took secret data home will face a single misdemeanor

said Tuesday.

Jessica Quintana, 23, is scheduled to be arraigned May 15 before
a federal magistrate in Albuquerque, her attorney Stephen Aarons
said.

Police found the data _ on a portable computer storage drive and

drug bust at her Los Alamos home.
