090304111945_funeral-womanThis one is a bit hard to fit into the usual charge sheet. Nicole Marie Loretta Leonard, 25, showed up at the funeral of a stranger in North Carolina, danced in front of the family, waved a wand around the casket, opened the casket, and hit the deceased with the wand. Before running from the funeral, she threw flowers from the casket over the shocked family.

Leonard fled in her car only to be intercepted by police, who report that she simply explained that “it was the right thing to do at the time.”

She has been charged with disturbing a funeral and public disorderly conduct.
