A Oklahoma man could spend the next 20 years behind bars for stealing a chair.
Rodney Crane did not steal just any chair, he plead guilty to stealing a unique chair designed by Frank Lloyd Wright from the Price Tower in Bartlesville.
Police said the chair was stolen on Oct. 3. It was the first item ever stolen from the tower.
The $20,000 chair was recovered in November, and police said Crane admitted to the crime during his arrest.
Officers found other pieces from the Price Tower in his home as well.
He pleaded guilty to charges of burglary in the second degree and grand larceny in December.
While out on bond, the Bartlesville assistant district attorney said Crane committed "much more serious" crimes, prompting the court to seek the heavy sentencing.
His sentencing date is April 6.
