Employee arrested in theft of laptops
A part-time employee at Metropolitan Career-Technical Center is accused of taking four laptop computers, according to a report from Little Rock police.
Robert Callicott, 39, was arrested Wednesday on a theft of property charge after a school official told police that Callicott took 10 Apple MacBook laptop computers and did not return them. The report said Callicott claimed he did not take the computers, but video footage showed him taking the computers out of the classroom on May 28.
Callicott returned six of the computers after the school said they would press charges, but four are still missing, the report said. Callicott was not listed on the Pulaski County jail roster Thursday.
