(Fargo, ND) -- A Minnesota man is being charged for stealing the famous ruby red slippers worn by Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz."
A Minnesota grand jury indicted 76-year-old Terry J. Martin in the 2005 theft of the slippers from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids.
The slippers were recovered by police during a sting operation in Minneapolis in 2018.
They are one of just four known surviving pairs from the 1939 movie and are currently valued at three-and-a-half-million dollars.
