Preliminary hearing set for Kansas City man who had Joplin School District computers after tornado

A June 30 preliminary hearing has been scheduled in Kansas City for Charles C. Rice, 41, who is charged with four counts of receiving stolen property after allegedly trying to get a computer service company to unlock four Joplin R-8 School District laptops missing after the May 22 tornado.

Rice is being held on $10,000 bond, and is being represented by a public defender, according to online court records.

The laptops were missing after the May 22 tornado. Rice said he bought the computers from another man and had not been in Joplin. He gave his phone to police so they could contact the man. The phone had pictures on it that had been taken in Joplin.
