A trial date was set in Albemarle Circuit Court Monday for a former county schools employee who police said stole 111 new laptop computers from the division.
The trial is scheduled for March 6 for Alex Hunt, 35, who was arrested and charged with grand larceny April 29.
The computers were stolen from a locked storage facility on Greenbrier Road, one used by the school system and the county government to store surplus equipment and files.
Schools officials discovered the computers, worth about $110,000, were missing from the storage facility in January 2011 and reported it to police after conducting their own internal investigation.
The laptops were stolen sometime between November 2010 and January 2011.
School officials say they wanted to first make sure the missing computers weren’t within the school division’s possession at an unknown location.
Also at the court on Monday, an Albemarle grand jury indicted a Charlottesville woman on a charge of malicious wounding.
Police arrested Teresa Currier Cassell, 46, after learning a man had been struck in the back of the head with a hatchet Dec. 30.
