ATLANTA (AP) - A former Grady Memorial Hospital employee already
charged with stealing jewelry from patients is back in jail.

Atlanta police said Tacuma Jawara is facing a third theft-related offense for allegedly stealing $1,100 in money orders from a patient at the same hospital. The incident occurred in November 2007.

Police believe the money was spent at a spa.

Jawara was arrested Tuesday and was being held at the Fulton
County Jail pending a bond hearing.

Records showed Jawara was fired in 2007 after police charged him
with stealing wedding rings from patients. He awaits trial on those
charges.
