The Broward Sheriff's Office reports that 18-year-old Johnny Silfrain jumped into a black hearse parked outside a West Park church Wednesday morning and drove off. He was shot in the leg and eventually arrested when he drove back to the church. It appears he took the vehicle to retrieve his Bible from home.
Family members say Silfrain had been agitated for days before attending the funeral. Relatives say they called Hallandale Beach police for help Tuesday night, but the officers said Silfrain didn't pose an immediate danger.

So stealing it was ok, but returning it was a shooting offense?
My Uncle has him beat...if you excuse the expression.
After his mother had died he went to the morque and took her body, beathing up a couple of attendants during the act. He was arrested after a chase.
Imagine a cadaver in the back seat of a cadillac convertable with a pro-wrestler driving through the streets of phoenix. It was big news back then.
Silfrain committed a grave offense; they have him dead to rights. And the shooting officer’s actions were bang-on.
See that’s why you always want to keep a bottle of Vicks Formula 44 around...

Great name, think I'll use it as a stage name with my band.
Thats just what they WANT everyone to think . . .
It is ok. We laugh about it now. At first we we in shock, but you know what time does.
On night I was telling my nephew (a Marilyn Manson fan) about the event with Uncle Jerry. He developed a big smile...then asked....”Wait! Let me get this right. My great Uncle did that?”
I guess stuff like that impresses MM fans.
If you throw in a few midgets you might have one hell of a story there!
You can google the rest.
Sure, they realize that us “fogies” have had wierd and unusual life experiences, too.
They've done a d*mn fine job. Gotta hand it to them.
Ah, love...some guys just can’t let go.’’
