Criminal Dying to Escape

It’s been a while since we posted a dumb criminal story here on the HSS Blog.  So here it goes – A Philadelphia woman is accused of hiding in a coffin at a funeral home after escaping police.

Nicole April Kelly, 19, had been caught by police in connection with two outstanding warrants.  Saying she “just couldn’t do this,” she broke free and ran off.   She must have been dying to make a quick getaway, because she was found several hours later by the owner of Brown Funeral Home, whom she immediately attempted to bite, according to The Sentinel.

Documents state that police used several dogs and a helicopter in their search for Kelly, which lasted for several hours, until she was found hiding inside a coffin at the Brown Funeral Home by the business’s owner Dan Brown.  Brown then grabbed Kelly’s wrist and arm and kept her on the ground until the police came.
