A man who stole the head from the state Capitol statue of Hans Christian Heg during a night of protests in 2020 has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor theft and sentenced to a year of probation. Rodney A. Clendening was originally charged with felony theft, but the charge was reduced to a misdemeanor as part of a plea agreement that resulted in the probation imposed by Dane County Circuit Judge John Hyland. The Wisconsin State Journal reported Wednesday that Clendening turned over the head of the statue to his attorney. Heg was an abolitionist and Union Army colonel during the Civil War.
