The Clare Sentinel reports Friday that the restaurant at the Doherty Hotel & Convention Center in Clare had its database illegally accessed. The first fraudulent charges appeared on a credit card in May. Secret Service Agent Douglas Zloto says investigators are working to determine who accessed the information and how. The resident agent in charge of the federal agency's Saginaw office says the hotel has put additional security protections in place. _________________________________________________________________ Register with Chicago Tribune and receive free newsletters and alerts >> _________________________________________________________________ Zloto says the charges on credit cards were between $2,000 and $3,000, and included international purchases.
