BOWLING GREEN A former Bowling Green State University student who was employed by the Wood County Airport has been indicted on a fourth-degree felony theft charge over $60,000, an amount that was found missing from the airport.

He is to be arraigned June 13 by Wood County Common Pleas Judge Alan Mayberry.

The missing funds came to light earlier this year as the state Auditor s Office was doing an audit of the Wood County Regional Airport Authority.

Mr. Morrison was a senior aviation studies major at BGSU during the spring semester.
