ASTORIA, Ore. (AP) — A man who helped steal a bronze statue of Sacagawea from a national park is a wanted man again.

The Clatsop County sheriff’s office said a felony warrant has been issued for Marcus Bologna for violating his probation.

The Daily Astorian reported the 45-year-old Bologna failed to meet the conditions of his probation after he pleaded guilty in 2008 to charges in the theft of the bronze statue of the Native American guide for the Lewis and Clark expedition.

The statue had been on display at the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park in Warrenton. It was later found at a scrap metal yard in Bend, dirty and headless.

It was replaced with a new statue after Bologna was sentenced to 50 days in jail and two years on probation.
