More theft charges for state worker

A Georgia Tech employee convicted of stealing state funds faces new theft charges. Cobb County police say they think Donna Gamble stole money from a middle school marching band. A warrant says Gamble is suspected of taking nearly $12,000 while she was treasurer of the Marietta Middle School band boosters in 2006. The 43-year-old is serving a 32-month sentence in a Florida prison after admitting to a five-year spending spree of more than $300,000 in personal expenses on her university credit card.

The group of 360-plus will hit the streets in New York a little after 10 o’clock this morning. The Yellow Jacket Marching Band is celebrating its 100th anniversary.
