Missing gravestones

BOARDMAN

A Boardman man and his mother paid $3,115.98 for three gravestones but have yet to receive them.

The man told police Thursday a person told him the stones were delivered to a facility in Vermont to be engraved and that the stones aren’t available, according to a report. He was told he would receive the stones as soon as the person is released from a rehabilitation hospital where he is being treated for alcohol abuse. A police report was filed.
