Utahn accused of stealing historic Latter-day Saint photos and texts faces more felonies in thefts from BYU library

The man accused of stealing historic Latter-day Saint texts and documents from Utah libraries has been charged with stiffer crimes, and court records suggest a third county prosecutor is weighing a case against him, too.

The Utah County attorney Monday charged Kevin Mark Ronald Schuwer of Orem with three felonies: theft, theft by deception and conducting a pattern of unlawful activity. That last count packs a penalty of up to 15 years in prison. The other two charges — as well as the ones he faces in Cache County — all carry up to five years in prison.
