Smith was the manager of central receiving and distribution at KSU.

A warrant written by a GBI agent alleges that Smith took incoming shipments containing 12 Cisco transceiver modules meant for the networking department and 11 Microsoft Surface Pro 4 computers mistakenly shipped to KSU.

The modules, which are used in large-scale computer systems, cost $78,000. He allegedly sold four of them on an eBay store run by his fiancee. The other eight were “recovered with the assistance of Mr. Smith’s attorney,” according to the warrant.

He sold 10 of the 11 laptops on that same eBay store, the warrant alleges. The cops got in touch with three of the purchasers who gave serial numbers that matched the stolen laptops. The total loss was $14,300, the agent wrote.

After this, KSU's Central Receiving and Distribution warehouses developed "physical and procedural controls to provide increased security of items, including a system that provides documentation of chain of custody for all items coming into the facility," DeMel said.

Smith joined KSU full time in 2008, she said. He was placed on administrative leave in March pending the outcome of the investigation and resigned in April.

Smith bonded out of Cobb jail about six hours after being booked on a $100,000 bond, records show. His next court day was not listed online.
