Pittsburgh area police have arrested 37-year-old Jody Lynn Bennett on suspicion that he stole a hand-held video gaming system from the coffin of 17-year-old Bradley McCombs, who died in a Christmas Day SUV crash. Seems the respectful, but sticky fingered mourner, attended the viewing to pay his respects. In exchange for his “payment,” he stole the electronic device and three games from the decedent’s coffin. Bennett fled the funeral home after being confronted by family members.
An anonymous tip led to his arrest on charges of theft, abuse of a corpse, and intentional desecration of a venerated object. Bennett was unable to post his $15,000.00 bond. According to Yahoo News, “Bennett’s mother, Sharon, said her son has a drug problem. She apologized for his actions.”
Personally, I wait for an apology from the alleged creep himself.
