Three men were indicted Tuesday in New York for allegedly conspiring to sell handwritten notes and lyrics for the Eagles album “Hotel California” — papers that band member Don Henley says were stolen in the late 1970s.
The 100 allegedly stolen pages include the lyrics to the songs “Hotel California,” “Life in the Fast Lane” and “New Kid in Town.” Collectively, they are valued at more than $1 million.
Glenn Horowitz, Craig Inciardi and Edward Kosinski were all charged in New York Supreme Court with one count of fourth-degree conspiracy, according to a press release from the New York County distrcit attorney's office. Horowitz was also charged with first-degree attempted criminal possession of stolen property and two second-degree counts of hindering prosecution, while Inciardi and Kosinkski face first-degree charges of criminal possession of stolen property.
