According to charging documents, Behun served as a laboratory division section chief, leading the section that supports human resources, finance, compliance/health and safety programs. Last month, Behun was charged with theft of government property in the case first reported Wednesday by WRC-TV. The station reports that Behun has not entered a plea.
