SALISBURY — Two Salisbury University students accused of stealing a life-size bronze statue of Henry David Thoreau from the campus have left the university.
Salisbury spokesman Richard Culver confirmed that Samuel Cyrus and Jonathan Reddick have left the school but did not elaborate on the circumstances of their departure.
Cyrus and Reddick pleaded guilty last month to conspiracy to commit theft and each received three years of probation. Prosecutors dropped the other charges against them.
The 400-pound statue was stolen in January. The scheme was uncovered after a third man, Raymond Bunting, sold it to Delmarva Recycling for $442.
The statue was recovered except for its extended left hand, which had been sawed off. Culver says it should be repaired and returned to campus by the end of May.
