Authorities arrested a South Florida lawyer over allegations he used private arrest information, learned through a confidential consultation with an unnamed woman, to smear her name unless she resigned from a condominium board.

David Weintraub, 63, a solo practitioner based just outside of Fort Lauderdale, was released Friday on a $5,000 bond, and is facing a second degree felony charge of extortion.
