An author who has written several books about Montana pleaded not guilty this week in federal court to charges alleging he stole items from the Montana Historical Society over the course of a year and sold or tried to sell them on eBay.

Brian D’Ambrosio, 49, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to one count of theft of major artwork, one count of interstate transportation of stolen property, and eight counts of wire fraud in a federal court hearing in Great Falls.

D’Ambrosio was indicted in November but the case was unsealed this week when he made his first appearance in the case over Zoom.
