Kevin Maynard, an employee at Rhode Island Veterans Memorial Cemetery pleaded guilty to filching headstones that he used to pave his garage and some outbuildings. The stones were scheduled to be destroyed, but Mister Maynard saw no problem with putting the 202 stones to his own use. <\/p>\n
Maynard has taken the plea agreement in exchange for a sentencing recommendation of one year’s probation and 500 hours of community service, according to Rhode Island district court documents filed June 30.<\/p>\n

Maynard, who has since resigned, had been a state employee with the cemetery since 2006, Jolin said. Officials suspect Maynard had been taking the headstones \u2014 set to be picked up by the Veterans Affairs Department to be destroyed \u2014 from a secured area on cemetery grounds since 2009.<\/p>\n
Jolin said the VA supplies the grave markers, worth about $600 each, free to the cemetery.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So that was only about $121k – it looks like Maynard got off pretty easy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
