Ex-player found guilty in shoplifting

A former Virginia Tech football player and a Blacksburg woman were found guilty Thursday of shoplifting merchandise valued at nearly $200 from the University Bookstore in October. Walter Ford, who was kicked off the team after his arrest, and former bookstore cashier Charlotte Champaco were both fined and sentenced to 20 days in jail. Attorney for both said they would appeal the judgment. For details, see today's Virginia section.
