Grady employee again charged with stealing

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.
