GREENUP, Ky. (WSAZ) -- A member of the dive team that removed the Indian Head Rock from the Ohio River was in court Thursday in Greenup County, Kentucky.

David Vetter pleaded not guilty to charges he violated the Kentucky Antiquities Act.

Last year, a Portsmouth-based recovery crew pulled the 8-ton boulder out of the Ohio River. Bluegrass prosecutors say the Buckeye team stole a registered Kentucky historic artifact.

Vetter now joins Ohio dive team leader Steve Shaffer on the criminally accused list. The Kentucky prosecutor says there may be more indictments to come.
