Geraldo Cadava '00 and Ross Fenderson '00 plead guilty and were fined $480 in Lebanon District Court yesterday for the theft of a guitar and three portable stereos from Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity during Winter term.
Cadava and Fenderson were arrested in March for removing a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar and the stereo equipment from the Sig Ep basement Saturday Feb. 15.
Fenderson said the arraignment "was fine. It was justified." He declined to comment further. Cadava could not be reached for comment.
The stolen stereos were discovered in Fenderson's room in Hinman Residence Hall when a search was executed by the Hanover Police. The police recovered the guitar in the hallway of Hitchcock Residence Hall.
Hanover Police Detective Sergeant Frank Moran previously told The Dartmouth the guitar was intentionally left in the hallway so it would be discovered and returned to the owner.
