ATLANTA -- A Grady Hospital social worker accused of stealing a dead woman’s wedding ring is accused of stealing from a Paulding County couple.

Atlanta Police spokesman Officer James Polite said Tuesday that Tacuma Jawara is accused of taking the wedding ring and a necklace from Paul Goyette. Goyette and his wife Melissa said on Tuesday that he was airlifted to Grady following a crash on April 21.

"No one kept records," Paul Goyette said. "They didn't expect me to make it."

"They gave me a bag, which had his belt and his Zyrtec allergy medicine," said his wife Melissa. The Goyettes are from Dallas, Ga.

Polite said Jawara later sold the jewelry at a pawn shop. Officers recovered the items and gave them back to the couple.

Jawara is also accused of stealing a woman’s self-designed wedding rings after she died.

Authorities said the theft happened after Katherine Armstong was taken to Grady after a crash on Interstate 85. Armstrong died after arriving at the hospital.

Police said Jawara sold Armstrong’s rings to a pawn shop. Officers recovered the rings last week and gave them back to her husband.

Melissa Goyette said Jawara looked familiar.

"I saw him on the news. My husband woke me up and I said 'That's him,'" Goyette said.

Armstrong's jewelry was valued at $5,000 and Goyette's at $600.
