PROVO -- A former Brigham Young University broadcasting employee will serve six months in jail for stealing more than $200,000 in laptops and other equipment from the university.
Allen Harris pleaded guilty in January to two theft charges and two counts of communications fraud.
On top of the jail sentence, a judge ordered Harris to pay more than $200,000 in restitution.
Harris is accused of buying 25 MacBook computers at BYU's expense, but then only delivering five of the computers to employees. The remaining 20 were found to have been sold on eBay.
An audit revealed the thefts last year.
