HUTCHINSON, Kan. – The Reno County Sheriff’s Office announced Tuesday that they’ve made two arrests in association with the thefts at the Turon Cemetery back on Oct. 7.
Forty-seven-year-old Glenn Osenbaugh of Sylvia and 36-year-old Jeremy Richardson of Plevna were arrested for possession of stolen property in reference to the thefts.
You may recall us telling you that a total of 26 brass vases were stolen from graves at that cemetery. The suspects cashed them in at a local iron and metal facility and most were crushed. Sheriff Capt. Steve Lutz says they had gotten the report from Midwest Iron and Metal that they were taken there.
Osenbaugh was arrested some time back on a warrant in the case and Richardson was picked up on a warrant Monday.
Both will face the charges through District Court.
