Student Pleads Guilty to Theft from Drew Archives

I was just thinking last week how odd it was that we'd heard nothing about the William John Scott case, in which (now-former) Drew University freshman and part-time archives employee was accused of stealing more than 30 letters from the university archives.

Word tonight that Scott has entered a guilty plea, and that all but one of the stolen items have now been returned to the archives. The only item still missing is half of a 1755 John Wesley letter.

The plea agreement reportedly does not include a recommended sentence. A preliminary sentencing date of 15 April has been set.

More as I get it.
