CUMBERLAND, R.I. (AP) - The Rhode Island attorney general has charged the Cumberland school district's information technology
director and his son with embezzlement and conspiracy in connection with the theft of computers from the schools.

Cranston residents 52-year-old Robert Legacy, the district's IT director who is on administrative leave, and his son, 20-year-old Kevin Legacy, were charged Tuesday.

A spokesman for the attorney general tells The Providence Journal that during the case-screening process the embezzlement charge was added for Robert Legacy and the conspiracy charge was added for both father and son.

Both were previously charged with receiving stolen goods for allegedly selling the stolen computers to unwitting buyers.
