Cops: New Hampshire teacher stole student calculators, sold on eBay

AMHERST, N.H. (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A New Hampshire high school teacher was arrested and charged with stealing calculators from his students and selling them on eBay.

Randy Floyd, a 50-year-old Souhegan High School math teacher was taken into custody on Tuesday at his home. The in Merrimack man has been placed on indefinite administrative leave.

Floyd is accused of stealing Texas Instrument TI-83 calculators from students and the school over the course of several years and selling them online.

The Texas Instrument calculators retail for around $100, according to websites for Staples, Walmart and Office Depot. The calculators, sold as "refurbished," simply looked used, and the serial numbers on the backs had all been scratched off, the Union Leader reports.

Floyd allegedly sold 44 calculators on eBay from January 2007 to January 2010. It is not clear that all were stolen.

Floyd came to Souhegan 10 years ago after teaching at Concord High School for a year, according to his bail documents.

He was released on $2,500 personal recognizance bail and is expected to be arraigned in Milford District Court on June 10.
