Police responded to a call that a man was stealing a coffin from a hearse that was parked in front of the Hughes Funeral Home on Webb Chapel. The man fled the scene before the police arrived.
A half hour later, a woman called police to report that her brother had brought their father’s dead body to her home located in the 2000 block of Browder Street in South Dallas.
Dallas Police put two and two together and discovered that the woman’s description matched the description provided by the caller reporting the hearse robbery. The trail led to Angel Jamaica, 34.
Police records state that Jamaica was intoxicated when he decided to pull a cruel prank on his sister. He was taken into custody and faces a public intoxication charge.
