A local funeral home that just opened its doors a few months ago was out its company vehicle Sunday. Police say 31-year-old Damon Gwinn stole the only hearse from the Rosedale Funeral Home on Albemarle Road Sunday morning.Officers found it crashed later off Bellhaven Road in west Charlotte. Funeral home co-owner Tito Truesdale said he doesn't know why anyone would want to take it, but it will hurt business. "You never know when a funeral home needs its hearse," Truesdale said.
Damon Gwinn was behind bars Sunday night, charged with stealing the hearse, hit and run and driving with a revoked license. Gwinn has been arrested in Charlotte several times before yesterday.Source: WSOC-TV
