Can an employee be suspended for telling a coworker about public info of another employee?

An Employee at a security company told her coworker to Google search another employee's name because there was info regarding her past arrests and criminal activity. The Employee was put on 3 days unpaid suspension and told a condition of her coming back to work was to write a letter of apology to the employee for harassment and defamation of the employee who has the criminal past. Every bit of the Google info is true (it's a news article about the woman's crime spree). Did the employer have the right to do this?
