Former Indiana University basketball player Todd Leary faces charges that he stole appliances from foreclosed homes less than two months after he pleaded guilty to charges stemming from a mortgage fraud scheme.

The 39-year-old Leary was scheduled to appear in a Hamilton County court Thursday on burglary and theft charges.

Hamilton County deputy prosecutor Jeff Wehmueller tells The Indianapolis Star that Leary targeted unoccupied homes using sheriff's foreclosure listings and sold the appliances to an Indianapolis store.

Leary, of Carmel, pleaded guilty in July to a felony charge of misappropriating title insurance escrow funds in Fort Wayne. He is scheduled to be sentenced in October.

The Associated Press left a message seeking comment from Leary's attorney.
