Three men accused of having stolen and attempting to sell handwritten notes and lyrics by the Eagles’ Don Henley have been indicted on multiple charges, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s Office announced.
About 100 pages of notes and lyrics for songs including"Hotel California,""Life in the Fast Lane," and"New Kid in Town" were among the documents prosecutors said were stolen and worth more than $1 million, according to a news release. The men, Glenn Horowitz, 66, Craig Inciardi, 58, and Edward Kosinski, 59, were each charged with one count of conspiracy in the fourth degree.
