Michael May, 44, was arrested Tuesday evening after an officer saw him digging up a grave at a cemetery in Sanford, Kentucky. May told the arresting officer he was trying to dig up the grave of his father so he could argue with him.
The arresting officer also said May seemed intoxicated and quoted Bible verses when confronted, according to Central Kentucky News. May was charged with violating graves, public intoxication and marijuana possession and locked in the Lincoln County Jail.
In a bizarre jailhouse interview May told reporter Josh Breslow that a bible verse inspired him to dig up his dad.
Breslow: "Do you feel that you were violating a grave?"
May: "No, no. I see the truth.. he needs to be on the ground. Not under it."
May says his dad died 30 years ago. There are 13 people named May buried at the cemetery, but the only name fitting that timeline was a person named Willis Green May, WAVE3.com reports.
