A former Athens teacher, awaiting trial for having sex with a student, faces new charges of embezzlement from the school system.
Tyler Millward, 30, of Springfield, was arraigned Thursday in Calhoun County District Court on a charge of embezzlement from a nonprofit of more than $1,000 and less than $20,000 and of using a computer to commit a crime
Both charges carry maximum sentences of up to 10 years and could be consecutive.
Millward appeared before Magistrate Joe Brutsche who set bond at $20,000 and scheduled a preliminary examination for Feb. 6 before Judge Tracie Tomak. He asked for a court appointed attorney.
Millward is accused of taking chemistry equipment, including a replica of a human skeleton, and baseball supplies all valued at about $5,000 from Athens Area Schools where he was a teacher and selling them on eBay between July of 2016 and July 2017.
He is already awaiting trial in circuit court on three counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct involving a 16-year-old female student. He faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted on those charges.
