Joseph Kuzma, a 35-year-old Byron resident, has been sentenced to four months of weekend jail time for stealing hundreds of veterans markers from local cemeteries and selling the metal for scrap.
Kuzma was sentenced Thursday in County Court by Judge Robert C. Noonan.
Previously, he had pled guilty to grand larceny, 3rd.
He will be required to pay more than $17,000 in restitution.
Last fall, Kuzma hit cemeteries in Byron and Bergen and then sold the metal to a scrap yard in Rochester.

I think he should do more than weekends, and at least a couple years. Also the people at the scrap yard should be charged with receiving stolen property, since those markers can not be mistaken for scrap metal.
