Man prints fake obit of mom to get time off

 

 (CBS/AP)

(AP)  

BROOKVILLE, Pa. - Authorities say a U.S. man published a fake obituary for his living mother in a ploy to get paid bereavement time off from work.

 

Relatives called The Jeffersonian Democrat newspaper in Pennsylvania after the obit appeared to say the woman was actually alive and well.

 

The woman herself then visited the paper.

 

Police charged 45-year-old Scott Bennett on Tuesday with disorderly conduct.

 

Newspaper editor Randy Bartley says he accepted the obituary in good faith after being unable to confirm the funeral arrangements at press time.

 

He told The Derrick newspaper on Friday that the woman was very understanding.

 

Police Chief Ken Dworek says Bennett wrote up the memorial notice because he didn't want to get fired for taking time off.

We all knew ya hate yer job Troll... But ta report your own demise, and publish it? That's just not nice.

And then pull a Jeezus-type resurrection, then show up ta work?

That's way over the lines of acceptable behavior in the 20th. century... In fact it just ain't right!

Just think of how disappointed the kids will be!
