Man Accused Of Stealing Funeral Flowers

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) ― A Flagstaff man faces an auto burglary charge after he allegedly climbed into a hearse during a funeral and began stealing flowers piled inside.

Christopher Billie, 37, was booked into the Yavapai County jail on one count of auto burglary, said Sgt. Tom Boughner, a Flagstaff police spokesman.

Police were called to Our Lady of Guadalupe Church just after 8 p.m. Thursday by a funeral director who watched as Billie opened the hearse door, climbed inside and began grabbing flower vases, Boughner said. Billie, who reportedly was intoxicated, was detained by the mortician until officers arrived.
