Man sentenced for stealing dino bones
The Salt Lake Tribune - Pamela Manson
A Colorado man who admitted stealing several pieces of dinosaur bone and other archaeological items from Glen Canyon National Recreation Area is now serving six months of probation for the misdemeanor.
Charles Penn Lindsey also agreed to forfeit to the government the items he took in 2005. They include the dinosaur bone pieces, fish fossils, petrified wood, lava rock, a stone point and a pot.
Federal prosecutors in Colorado say Lindsey was turned in by his ex-wife, who said she was afraid he would teach their son how to loot. The items were found at Lindsey's home in Woodland Park, Colo.
Lindsey pleaded guilty to violating the Archaeological Resources Protection Act earlier this summer and was immediately sentenced by U.S. Magistrate Kathleen Tafoya in Colorado Springs, Colo.
