A woman was arrested on a charge of disrupting a funeral service after allegedly grabbing the body of the deceased from the coffin during a funeral, according to police in Tennessee.
Columbia police said that they have arrested 6-year-old Cynthia Ann Frierson, after crashing into cars and pulling out a dead man from the coffin during funeral services.
Frierson was charged with disrupting a funeral or memorial service, public intoxication, unlawful drug paraphernalia, immediate notice of accident and driving with a revoked or suspended license.
She was booked into the Maury County Jail, pending a bail hearing. According to the police investigation, on Monday, Frierson was driving drunk when she hit two cars with her red truck.
She fled from the two scenes before arriving at the Roundtree Napier Funeral Home. At one point, Frierson tried to pull the body out of the coffin, saying that he is just asleep and is going to be fine.
It took six people to remove the woman from the funeral home.
