Man pleads guilty to stealing from BYU library

Provo • A self-proclaimed Latter-day Saint antiquities dealer has pleaded guilty to stealing books from the Brigham Young University library.

The Daily Herald reports Orem resident Kevin Mark Ronald Schuwer pleaded guilty to stealing eight books and a historic picture from the Harold B. Lee Library between September and November 2018.

Court documents say he then sold the photo and three of the books to a collector for $3,000.

Authorities recovered three more books at Schuwer's residence, but two of the "rare LDS Church books" that were checked out are still missing.
