SOUTHHAVEN, Miss.- Police have caught the man that stole Elton John’s heart-shaped glasses from a Memphis museum.
WMC-TV reports 26-year-old Matthew Colvin was arrested Tuesday in Southhaven, Mississippi, and he will be extradited back to Memphis on Wednesday.
The Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum reported April 21 that an employee discovered the glasses, valued at more than $2,000, had been taken out of a display case during business hours. An investigator lifted prints and matched them to Colvin.
Investigators called Colvin Monday and he told them where the glasses were. Police found them in a mailbox.
The glasses have been placed back on display.
