Montgomery County Man Admits Stealing Cemetery Urns, Selling For Scrap
December 7, 2011 8:30 PM

NORTH COVENTRY Twp., Pa. (CBS) - A Montgomery County, Pa. man is
headed to state prison for at least two years after admitting he
stole bronze vases from gravesites at two cemeteries in Montgomery
and Chester Counties earlier this year.

James Tidmore pleaded guilty to theft and conspiracy, admitting that
along with two co-defendants, he stole more than 200 bronze vases from
Highland Memorial Cemetery in Pottstown and Mount Zion Cemetery in
North Coventry Township.

The 48-year-old Pottstown man was sentenced to two to four years
behind bars, followed by six years probation.

"Their families remember them by these vases, and it was extremely
disturbing to these families, to these victims, for those grave sites
to be desecrated the way they were," said county prosecutor Noah
Marlier.

Marlier says Tidmore was scrapping the vases - valued at more than
$140,000 - for pennies on the dollar in Philadelphia. His
co-defendants are still moving through the court system.


How many of the slimebags that crashed our economy got 2-4 years?
