Confronted
The family had been able to identify the culprit to the police. Normally, the police wouldn’t be bothered with a small crime like this, but because it was the grave of the Russel family, they felt like they needed to do something to help. They tracked down John and found his house.
It was in town and a family member from the Russel family escorted the police to go and confront John about what he was doing. He wasn’t going to fight with him, but he needed to tell him to stop or else they would have to charge him with theft. John opened up his door when he knocked.
