Deadbeat caught driving while "dead"

KCCI.com - News - Police: Woman Fakes Death To Avoid Paying Traffic Tickets:

"Polk County investigators said Kimberly Du, 36, faked her own obituary and forged a letter telling a Polk County judge she was dead."

Ms. Du's scheme to avoid a stack of unpaid traffic citations by claiming to be dead unraveled when she was stopped for a new infraction after informing the courts she was dead. She now faces charges of forgery which could earn her up to five years in prison.

In my days as a constable in Pennsylvania, the courts would only accept an official death certificate before cancelling warrants.
