GLOVERSVILLE, N.Y. – Neighbors cheered after police raided a funeral home they say doubled as a crack house.
Several of those inside frantically tossed crack into caskets when officers burst in Thursday night and arrested 16 people, including the owner and his girlfriend.
Neighbors had complained of finding partly nude corpses in plain view or discovering people sleeping in some of the rooms, district attorney Louise Sira said.
As police led the suspects out, a crowd chanted the refrain from the TV show “Cops”: “Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?” A huge cheer erupted when a bus took the suspects away, Sira said.
