No, the Band is Not Breaking Up

GREENFIELD — Police say they caught the man who stole a Greenfield man's band trailer - and the approximately $10,000 in musical instruments on it - that was parked outside his home in late April.

Steven Custer, Milwaukee, faces three counts of receiving stolen property. If convicted, Custer faces up to four-and-a-half years behind bars and up to $40,000 in fines.

The incidents

According to his criminal complaint, Custer reportedly stole the trailer on April 23 in Greenfield, and sold the trailer to a man the next day on April 24 at the Jefferson County Swap Meet for $350.

Although the trailer was valued at about $1,200, he reportedly told the buyer it was a good deal because "the band is breaking up."

Police say they were also able to determine that Custer sold an $899 amplifier for $160 to EZ Pawn in Waukegan County on April 24, and a $300 amplifier/cabinet to Pawn America in Madison for $75, the complaint said.
