Guilty plea in artifact sale

Update to the four corners saga...

DENVER – A 66-year-old Grand Junction, Colo. man who sold an illegally obtained Native artifact uncovered in a federal “sting” operation pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges in U.S. District Court Aug. 17.

Robert B. Knowlton was indicted by a grand jury last year on four charges that carried a potential sentence of two years imprisonment and a fine of $20,000 on each count, with a separate 10-year sentence and a fine of up to $250,000 if convicted of the artifacts’ interstate transport. That indictment was dismissed with his current guilty plea and a scheduled jury trial was canceled.
