A Liberty University administrator is being sought on warrants alleging he broke into a house and stole prescription narcotics.
The warrants charge Scott Alan Ray with burglary and two counts of possession of a schedule II narcotic.
Ray, the university’s director of convocation, handled logistics for the approximately 60 speakers at the university during the year, said Johnnie Moore, university spokesperson. Ray has been suspended pending the results of the investigation, Moore said.
A search warrant filed in the Lynchburg Circuit Court clerk’s office said that on Sept. 4, shortly before noon, a house on Spring Oaks Drive was broken into and the home’s video surveillance showed a man dressed in khaki pants and a red button-up shirt entering through the back door.
The man went immediately to the medications on the counter in the kitchen and took a bottle of Tramadol and Hydrocodone before leaving the house, according to a Campbell County Sheriff’s Office release.
When an investigator looked at the video, he recognized the man from an arrest in 2005 for a similar offense, the release said.
A search warrant was executed for Ray’s house and for Liberty University for surveillance video that showed Ray wearing clothing that matched the man in the burglary video shortly before the burglary.
