Kansas jewelry store owner admits buying stolen jewelry

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Topeka jewelry store owner has pleaded guilty to charges accusing him of knowingly buying stolen jewelry.

The office of the U.S. Attorney for Kansas said in a release Wednesday that 53-year-old John O. Dasher, of Silver Lake, pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of transporting stolen goods.

The federal prosecutor’s office says Dasher admitted the crimes occurred from 2010 to 2013 when he owned The Diamond House in Topeka and that he knew he was buying stolen jewelry taken in home invasions.

A sentencing date hasn’t been set.
