The deputy was working for the Ramsey County Sheriff&#8217;s office as well as the FBI.<span id="more-35045"></span></p>
<p>The document lists physical descriptions, phone numbers and other identifying information about activists in Iowa City.</p>
<p>Despite the infiltration, only one Iowa protester was arrested, activists say, and those charges were later dropped.</p>
<p>At least three other people connected to the Ramsey County Sheriff&#8217;s office were <a href="http://www.startribune.com/local/stpaul/35293039.html">involved in infiltrating groups in Minnesota</a>. &#8220;Norma Jean Johnson&#8221; also known as Ramsey County Deputy Sheriff Marilyn Hedstrom, infiltrated the RNC Welcoming Committee.</p>
<p>Rachel Nieting, a Ramsey County jail guard posed as Norma Jean&#8217;s niece, and Chris Dugger, was a confidential paid informant who now aspires to be a deputy.</p>
