Oct 28, 5:51 PM (ET) SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Stealing fake tombstones from a haunted trail in broad daylight isn't a good idea. Particularly if the trail is operated by a Fraternal Order of Police Lodge. South Charleston police arrested two men Wednesday after Lt. D.B. Cunningham, president of FOP Lodge No. 85, saw several of the lodge's handmade props in a passing vehicle. The driver was wearing a skull mask, Patrolman Jeremy Burns said. Cunningham, Burns and several other officers were gathered near the ticket stand at the time. Cunningham and Burns pursued the vehicle in Burns' police cruiser and stopped it. Donald Jenkins Jr., 20, and Devon Halstead, 19, both of South Charleston, were charged with petit larceny, a misdemeanor. They were issued citations and released. Jenkins, the driver, allegedly told police he and Halstead saw the props on the ground and thought they were being discarded, Burns said.
