TODAY'S TMJ4 has learned several patients at Columbia St. Mary's Hospital in Mequon had their identities stolen. A search warrant claims that a man working at the hospital stole information from people living in Ozaukee and Milwaukee counties over a period of nine months.

Columbia St. Mary's hospital didn't even know about the investigation until Melanie Stout of TODAY'S TMJ4 called them Friday morning. The man was still working at the hospital in Environmental Services, but was suspended without pay after TODAY'S TMJ4 brought the information to the hospital's attention.
