A Las Vegas woman was arrested after she allegedly broke into a funeral home and stole a casket with a body inside before dumping the body onto the ground and leaving.
A Las Vegas, Nevada woman has been arrested after she was allegedly seen on surveillance video breaking into a funeral home and stealing a casket occupied by a corpse, before leaving both items in front of the business, according to police. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department arrested 47-year-old Patricia Sierra at about 5:30 p.m. on Aug.
She was transported to police headquarters where investigators read Sierra her Miranda Rights. After being read her rights, Sierra allegedly said she has a substance abuse problem and 'blacks out.' She also said she did not remember breaking into the funeral home, but when asked if she had ever burglarized a business before, she allegedly said 'yes.
After being shown the surveillance video, police said, Sierra allegedly acknowledged she was the person in the video, though she could not remember why she burglarized the business. She also said she blacked out that night after drinking six beers. Court records show Sierra’s bail was set at $11,000 for the grand larceny charge, and her preliminary hearing is set for 9:30 a.m. on Sept. 18.
