A Colorado woman was arrested after allegedly stealing a dog from a man who suffered a seizure and who ultimately died.
Melody Mellon, 30, was at a 7-Eleven convenience store in Longmont, a city roughly 35 miles north of Denver, on Tuesday when a 59-year-old Robert Corbey — who had been feeling ill that day — suffered a seizure.
Paramedics responded and attempted to save his life, but Corbey was pronounced dead at a hospital, KDVR reported, citing the Longmont Police Department.
During this time, Mellon allegedly took the dog, named "Sampson," and fled.

The couple said a woman gave them Sampson.
Investigators eventually linked Mellon to the dog theft when a woman called police early Thursday, claiming her truck had been stolen. Police said they eventually found Mellon sleeping inside the truck.
Police say the woman lied about her name and kicked two officers as they tried to take her to a hospital. Investigators claimed that when she was medically cleared and transported to the Boulder County Jail, “intentionally urinated and spit inside the patrol vehicle."
Mellon reportedly faces charges of auto theft, assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest on top of the outstanding warrants.

Stay classy lady.

Another lowlife criminal... democrat...
What a horrible woman.
Detailing a gubmint vehicle can get expensive. Send her the bill.
KDVR? Cadaver? Who would want those call letters?
You’d have to look UNDER the bottom of the barrel to find this kind of pure evil. There’s nothing good in someone who would do this kind of thing.
I hope she spends the next 25 to life in prison. She would be right at home in there.
I suspect the "DVR" is for DenVeR.
This woman was the product of a hand-job on a hot rock in August.
KDVR? Cadaver? Who would want those call letters?
