Associated Press (February 2, 2009)
Officials in Ohio who ordered the removal of a historic rock in the
Ohio River are being sued by Kentucky. The state claims legal rights
over the rock, which they would like to put on display in their
state, instead of its current location in a city garage in Ohio.
Because the Indian Head Rock was a protected archaeological artefact
under Kentucky law, Ohio officials face charges of felony theft for
removing it. Ohio claims that removing the rock in 2007 was necessary
because it had recently been completely submerged under water and was
in danger of being damaged. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090204/
