An Indiana cemetery employee was arrested on multiple charges after allegedly digging up a grave site to steal a gold ring from a burial urn.

On the evening of May 12, an individual on the property of the Oak Lawn Memorial Gardens in Fishers reportedly went to a gravesite containing a burial urn with a gold ring inside. According to reports, it was believed the man dug up the vessel and stole the ring. At the same time, a patrolling officer from the Fishers Police Department noticed a parked car in the area and stopped to check it out.

When they looked inside, the officer reported that the car was unoccupied and spotted a shotgun, in addition to what appeared to be drug paraphernalia. While the police tried to find out who the vehicle was registered to, a 24-year-old man approached them and said it was his. He identified himself as someone who worked at Oak Lawn, and it was noted that there was dirt all over him. The man allegedly informed the officers about the gold ring, and they saw the gravesite and confirmed that it appeared as if the dirt had been disturbed.

Three people were arrested last Saturday when they were accused of using paint to vandalize the newly added wooden casing surrounding the historic statue of Christopher Columbus in Rhode Island.

Just before the weekend, the statue of Christopher Columbus that sits in Columbus Square in the city of Providence was housed in a plywood container.

It was reported that the structure was constructed to protect the statue during an upcoming project involving machinery deemed a risk to the effigy, in addition to taking precautions against possible vandals during the recent protests.
