Chief Randy Bynum states:
 
On Monday, April 18th, Kathy Schrader Gass, age 55 of Fort Payne, was arrested and charged with Receiving Stolen Property Third Degree. The arrest stems from a joint investigation by the Valley Head Police Department and the Fort Payne Police Department. Valley Head citizens reported the possible theft of items from a local cemetery in the Valley Head area. Tips on a vehicle description and a possible tag number lead Valley Head Police Chief Brian Phillips and Fort Payne detectives to a residence on Lookout Mountain where the stolen item was recovered. Warrants were also obtained for Theft of Property Third Degree in the Valley Head incident.
 
This arrest is a step in the right direction on trying to control local area cemetery thefts.
