SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A New Jersey man has pleaded guilty to stealing a Pablo Picasso drawing from a San Francisco art gallery.
Workers at the Weinstein Gallery say 30-year-old Mark Lugo brazenly snatched the drawing, called “Tete de Femme,” on July 5.
Lugo also is a suspect in at least seven New York art thefts.
On Thursday, Lugo pleaded guilty to grand theft in the San Francisco case. Under terms of a plea deal, prosecutors agreed to drop other charges, including burglary.
