Crystal Bowersox has learned that personal information on her was improperly checked in her home state of Ohio.

The Columbus Dispatch reported Thursday that the State Highway Patrol discovered in May that more than a half-dozen people with access to confidential records looked to see what the state had on Bowersox.

The Ohio Department of Public Safety apologized for the breaches in a July 1 letter, which "American Idol" runner-up's father shared with her only recently, when she returned home to the Toledo area. About The Author: Steven Rogers
