Someone just hit the hornet's nest with a broom that has been undisturbed and peaceful for months.

For the statue theft, he received a sentence of 18 months and $41,500 restitution. The other 13.5 years was due to an aggravated burglary that happened a few days after the statue heist.

Fentanyl, not meth. “I let fentanyl take over me and made a lot of poor decisions. I am not going to deny that. I never meant to hurt anybody. I am embarrassed, I am ashamed. Whatever you do today I accept. I am ready for that. I believe I am where I am supposed to be right now because at the rate I am going, I might have been dead.’

Don't.t change the narrative Cliff! Police also had a quote there, but posters will say there was "ONLY one reason" to take that statue. Glad they were caught and a version of the truth was told. Sadly, People never get the revised story, just the one that fit their beliefs
