LEITCHFIELD, Ky. (AP) - Three people have been arrested in connection to a break-in at a funeral home in Kentucky where several items were taken from a man whose body was awaiting burial.
Leitchfield police told news outlets that multiple law enforcement agencies found items stolen from Watson and Hunt Funeral Home last week while searching a White Mills house Wednesday. Police detective Kevin Smith told WDRB-TV that drugs, a gun and detonation cords were also discovered while authorities served the warrant.
Police arrested 38-year-old Jennifer Kay Wills and 55-year-old Gary Hawks during the search. Police say the suspected burglar is 35-year-old James Neal Sullivan, who was arrested Thursday.
It’s unclear if they have lawyers.
Investigators say that surveillance video shows the suspect wearing a suit planned for use in the man’s funeral.
