A Montezuma County man was sentenced Friday to 24 months in prison for stealing American Indian artifacts from a Ute Mountain Ute museum in 2004.
Robert Glenn Hanson Jr., 37, broke into the museum in the Four Corners area in southwest Colorado and took ancient pottery, beadwork and arrowheads from display cases, according to federal court records.
Cortez police found the items in a car driven by Hanson the day after the break-in. Hanson will serve the federal prison sentence, imposed in U.S. District Court in Denver, after he finishes serving state a prison sentence for an unrelated crime, said Jeff Dorschner, spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office.
