Arrests Disrupts Funeral in Wilmington, N.C.
Nov 20th, 2008 · Authorities in North Carolina apologized for the bad timing of a bust. They wanted to arrest a man. And they found him at his father's funeral. The Star-News of Wilmington, N.C., reports the suspect was helpling to load the coffin into a hearse, when two cops grabbed him. They put a knee in his back. And they tasered him, as his fellow pallbearers tried to steady the coffin. Police admit they could've waited until after the service. In their defense, they were respectful enough to wear coats and ties.
