Ohio U worker faces obstruction charge after theft

0

ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio University supervisor has been
charged with a felony count of obstructing justice after human bones
were stolen from the medical college.
The county prosecutor says
49-year-old Jerry A. Reed is accused of tipping off another employee
that he was under investigation for stealing and selling human bones
from the school’s osteopathic-medicine lab.
Reed oversaw the
medical college office that supports integration of health information
technology in the classroom. A university spokeswoman says he’s been put
on paid administrative leave.
The former lab assistant,
28-year-old Weston Henri Moquin, pleaded guilty to selling
the bones. His attorney says he did it to support a drug habit.
Online court records listed no attorney for Reed, who is not accused of participating in Moquin’s scheme.
