DES MOINES, Iowa - Charges were dropped Thursday against two cybersecurity workers who were arrested after breaking into an Iowa courthouse in September as part of a security test conducted by state court administrators. The company contracted with state court officials to conduct security tests at Iowa courthouses and the state court building. Wynn and Demercurio were caught inside the Dallas County Courthouse in Adel early on Sept. 11. Matthew Lindholm, the lawyer for Wynn and Demercurio, said the men are relieved that the charges were dismissed but frustrated that their reputations were damaged. During the testing, the men had also entered the Polk County Courthouse in Des Moines and the state judicial branch building, which houses the Iowa Supreme Court, without being detected.
