Breaking news!
Well, it broke yesterday anyway. That’s good enough for this blog. Always up to the minute.
A correspondent has sent me this item from WLEX-TV news in Lexington:
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - A Kentucky grand jury has indicted an Ohio historian who led efforts to pull an 8-ton boulder from the Ohio River.
Greenup County Commonwealth’s Attorney Cliff Duvall says a local grand jury indicted Steve Shaffer of Ironton, Ohio, on Thursday for allegedly breaking Kentucky law by removing a protected archaeological object from the river. The charge is a Class D felony, punishable by one to five years in prison.
If you’ve been reading here, you know that we’ve been following the story of Indian Head Rock for over a year now.
Things is getting serious.

Well, good for them! If the artifact was going to be moved at all, it should have been done by people who knew what they were doing. As far as I’m concerned, the really important thing isn’t who owns the rock, but that it gets treated with the respect and care it deserves.
