Happened near my old place... Tweakers stole a statue and tried to sell it off as scrap metal. “Oh yeah... I just happened to have this old Injun statue in the garage and didn’t know what to do with it...)

A statue of Sacagawea and her baby that was stolen earlier this month from Fort Clatsop National Memorial Park near Astoria was found at a scrap metal dealer in Bend.
Three Bend residents were arrested Thursday for the theft.
The 5 1/2-foot statue of Sacagawea and Jean Baptiste Charbonneau was taken from the park’s Nateul Landing sometime last weekend. On Tuesday, a Bend scrap metal dealer notified police about suspicious metal his business had just received. Bend police identified the metal as the missing statue.
The following day, the Clatsop County Sheriff’s Office learned that someone had tried to sell the statue at a scrap metal yard in the Portland area. An investigation with the Bend Police Department identified four suspects.
Bend police arrested James P. Storms, 44, and John A. Kristiansen, 45, during a traffic stop Thursday. A third suspect, Shawna D. Roberson, 42, was taken into custody a short time later. Each faces a charge of aggravated first-degree theft by receiving. Kristiansen also is charged with possession of a controlled substance.
