A Fulton County Superior Court judge today sentenced a former Georgia Tech employee to ten years in prison for theft, using a state-issued purchasing card.
Judge John J. Goger found Michelle Harris guilty on one count of felony racketeering.
Harris stole over $170,000 from the school over a four-year period.
Harris used the card to pay for two college tuitions at Georgia State University, tens of thousands of dollars in gift cards, a diamond ring, car repairs and insurance, cellphone bills, and over $4,000 dollars to cater a wedding reception.
Harris was also slapped with a ten-year parole after serving her sentence.
