Bethlehem police set up a sting Wednesday night after the victim of an alleged burglary saw his two stolen guitars listed for sale on Craigslist.org.

On Jan. 5, someone cut a lock off of two storage sheds at a storage facility on Marshall Street, police said. The owner of one shed reported a CD player stolen, the owner of another, Stephen Nichols, reported that a slew of music-related items, including Gibson and ESP guitars were taken.

Nichols contacted investigator Bradford Jones on Tuesday and told him he saw an ad for his guitars listed on the online classified ad hub Craigslist.org. Nichols and Jones contacted the poster, who referred to himself as "Lee," and set up a meeting Wednesday at Rudy's Car Wash on Stefko Boulevard.

Police said

Ramon "DJ Wild Child" Gutierrez

, 20, arrived at 7:30 p.m. with four other men and both guitars. Police nabbed three of the men -- Rafael Roque-Polo, Jose A. Rodriguez and Jose Rosa -- on the spot and chased Gutierrez through a thicket behind the car wash, but lost him.

The three men pointed to Gutierrez as the one who stole the guitars and orchestrated the sale. Police later located Gutierrez at his grandmother's home in the 1200 block of Fritz Drive. His grandmother, Juanita Vegas, said Gutierrez was in her bedroom and that he arrived in a panic and asked her if he could have three blankets and, "hide for a couple of hours."

Police removed Gutierrez from his grandmother's closet. He struggled with Jones, attempted to head butt investigator Christopher Beebe, and while he was being searched, allegedly told Beebe,

"I'm going to kick your gay (behind)."

Gutierrez had scratches on his face from running through the thicket and may have been living in his grandmother's storage shed, police said. He allegedly kept the guitars in her shed and police found bolt cutters in the shed along with items used to enter cars, a small amount of marijuana, a glass bong and a cup of urine.

Gutierrez was charged with burglary, theft, receiving stolen property, aggravated assault, resisting arrest, terroristic threats, possession of an instrument of crime and drug charges. He was sent to Northampton County Prison in lieu of $40,000 bail.

The guitars were recovered, police said. The three other men allegedly involved in the sting were released pending the completion of an investigation.
