MUSKEGON, Mich. - A man accused of stealing several artifacts from a western Michigan museum that’s housed on a World War II-era warship has pleaded guilty to trespassing and won’t face any jail time. But he pleaded guilty Wednesday to trespassing, a misdemeanour, and under his plea agreement will not face jail time when he’s sentenced March 25, The Muskegon Chronicle reported. His plea states that he entered “exhibits and cases” despite posted warning signs inside the museum, which is located inside a WWII-era troop landing ship. Authorities said Zaputil is from Iowa, but had been staying at a local hotel in the months prior to the thefts. He is a licensed osteopathic physician in Michigan and a licensed anesthesiologist in Iowa.
