A Denton County man faces charges after allegedly removing a body from a cemetery.
Bartonville Police Department investigators received a credible tip that Michael Chadwick Fry had “unlawfully removed and abused human remains taken from a local cemetery.” The department provided no further details.
On Wednesday, the investigators, with help from FBI special agents and task force officers, served a warrant in the 500 block of Oakwood Drive in Bartonville and arrested Fry. He has been charged with abuse of a corpse.
Bartonville police said the investigation is ongoing.
Denton County court records show Fry has more than two dozen prior arrests dating back to 2003. Those include assault, bodily injury, disorderly conduct, possession of alcohol by a minor – public intoxication, burglary of a habitation, theft of property, terroristic threat, driving while license invalid, criminal mischief, and resisting arrest.
