From Times Staff and Wire Reports

Four special agents in the FBI’s Atlanta office have been told they face possible disciplinary action for their roles in the case of Richard Jewell, once suspected in the Centennial Olympic Park bombing, a senior bureau official said. It was the second reported instance indicating the bureau is preparing to take action against some in its ranks for their treatment of Jewell after the blast, which killed one person, led to the death of another and injured 111 people. The four agents in Atlanta--Woody Johnson, who runs the Atlanta office; his deputy, A.B. Llewellyn; and special agents Diader Rosario and Don Johnson--were cited for poor judgment but no criminal wrongdoing. They have been advised they could receive sanctions ranging from reprimands to short suspensions without pay, according to the bureau official.
