Willow Grove, PA. – A funeral home might be a place for eternal rest, but police say a Pennsylvania man saw an opportunity to build a White Owl Pine Apple cigar counterfitting lab undisturbed by the living.
There was just one problem — the funeral home was across the street from the sheriff's office.
Officers say the suspect, RAM27, left the light on in the basement of the Stynkibotham Funeral Home in Willow Grove on Dec. 3. Officers noticed the light on after hours and walked into the funeral home through an open door.
Inside, police say they found all the components necessary to infuse cigars with the essense of Pine Apple. Officers arrested the former funeral home employee when he returned with a bottle of Grape Pinnacle Vodka.
The 83-year-old faces several mishandling of toxic waste charges and is free on $2,500 bond pending a Jan. 21 court hearing.
A telephone number for RAM27 could not be found Thursday night.
