ATHENS, Ga. -- A University of Georgia employee never reported a student's complaint that her dorm room was burglarized because, as it turned out, the employee was the burglar, UGA police said.

Ray Michael Williams, a community administrative assistant for East Campus Village, used a master key to enter the student's room June 22 and look at pictures of the student on her computer, police said.

She reported to Williams that someone had been in her room without her permission after she noticed "things in her room that were not consistent with how she leaves them," UGA police Chief Jimmy Williamson said.

Williams told the student he would notify police, and when she followed up on July 9, he told her not to contact police because they were taking care of it, the police chief said.

That day, the student put two and two together, according to Williamson.

"When all this originally started, she thought (Williams and the burglar) were two separate individuals, but on July 9th she determined they were the same individual," Williamson said.

The police chief would not explain how she made the connection.

After an investigation, a UGA officer Monday took out warrants charging Williams with burglary, computer invasion of privacy and influencing a witness - all felonies.

Williams, 32, of Winder, was booked into the Clarke County Jail the next day, and as of Thursday evening he had not posted the $7,000 bond that a judge set for his release.
