Cemetery worker accused of stealing guitar

September 26, 2011 By WRN Contributor

A worker for the Green Bay Catholic Diocese is facing charges for allegedly stealing a guitar from a casket.  The $2,000 Fender Telecaster was supposed to be placed in a burial chamber last week with the body of a man at the Allouez Catholic Cemetery. However, Lieutenant Scott Semb of the Brown County Sheriff’s Department says a worker discovered it was missing after overhearing another employee comment about the value of the instrument.

Police arrested 29-year-old grounds superintendent Steven Conrad on charges of theft from a corpse. Semb says Conrad admitted to taking the guitar, and told investigators it was because “he has respect for fine musical instruments.”

Conrad is on unpaid administrative leave, pending an investigation.
