Cops: Dad told daughter to steal flowers from graves
YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) - The Yakima County sheriff's office says a man told his 9-year-old daughter to take flowers from graves at West Hills Cemetery on Memorial Day. The Yakima Herald-Republic reports a deputy spotted the girl carrying flower arrangements to a car Monday night and found 22 flower arrangements. The 55-year-old father was arrested for investigation of theft. The family apparently intended to replant the cemetery flowers at their home. The stolen items have been returned to the cemetery.
