Larry A. Osborne Jr. is accused of stealing 400 laptop computers from the Middletown City Schools. Osborne was a contract employee with the district.
A Butler County grand jury will consider charges against him.
Osborne was a computer technician for the district before being dismissed.
The 400 computers were used or non-working. They were insured, and had a value of $123,000. Police have recovered 46 of the laptops.
Police say Osborne has been selling the computers, and has received $62,000 through his PayPal account from sale of the computers.

We always hear of news like this which would seem to be uncalled for as some would say but this is just an example of weird things that could happen even on places where there is a very strict measure of security. There are just some loopholes that are most often looked over leaving those involved on the losing end of it all. Quite disappointing but something has to be done.
