University officials are determining who will get the $2,500 reward for information which led to the return of the stolen head from the Christian Petersen “Ring of Life” sculpture in MacKay Hall. The head of the little boy statue was stolen Sept. 14. Warren Madden, vice president for Business and Finance, said a reward will be given out, but he does not know to whom it will go – the janitor who found the head, or those who called in information to the Department of Public Safety. Madden said he is unable to say who may receive the reward “unless individuals are willing to reveal their names.” DPS Director Loras Jaeger said the phone calls helped lead to the arrest of Nick Johnson, senior in management information systems. “We met with some people and they gave us enough information to arrest him,” Jaeger said. Johnson was arrested late Tuesday night and was charged with criminal mischief and theft after the statue’s head was found in six pieces in a garbage can in LeBaron Hall. Johnson was taken to the Story County Jail and was released Wednesday afternoon on 0 percent bond, said Vince Tomlinson, Story County jailer. Johnson will not have to post bond unless he doesn’t show up at his scheduled court appearance, Tomlinson said. Johnson declined comment Thursday evening. Jaeger said he is going to make some suggestions to the university about who should receive the reward. “We are making some recommendations, but those are not people we are going to identify,” he said. Jerry Stewart, associate director of DPS, said at least two people called in about the statue’s head or a possible link to Johnson. “This kid [Johnson] thought about it for about a semester to a year,” said Stewart, who said he can’t understand why Johnson would do such a thing. Madden said the reward will be given from university funds. “We have an account for situations like this,” he said.
