According to the Department of Public Safety’s website, Thomas Wayne Morgan Jr. — a former University custodian — was sentenced to 13 months of prison for thefts from the University.
From DPS’ website: “Morgan pleaded guilty to five counts of first-degree theft, and one count of first-degree official misconduct for his thefts of UO property worth more than $10,000, dating back to 2009. Morgan used his building access as a University custodian to steal gaming systems, a video camera and equipment, iPads, other electronics and cash.”
Morgan Jr. was arrested in April for the alleged thefts. He will also have a year of post-prison supervision.
