SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - The former Random Lake School District employee charged with stealing hundreds of computer tablets is bound over for trial. Judge James Bolgert made this decision after 33-year-old Mark Ustby of Milwaukee waived his right to a preliminary hearing in Sheboygan County Court Wednesday.
Ustby faces two theft charges for taking around 500 tablets from the district, plus several dozen he got donated from a Random Lake business, worth around 180 thousand dollars. In a criminal complaint, Ustby resigned his position late last month, one day before the tablets were discovered missing.
When law enforcement asked his about the missing items, he said he sold them on Craigslist so that he can give the money to several people he felt were worse off than he was.
