CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Dunbar police say an intoxicated man interrupted a memorial service at a funeral home before passing out in the visitation room.

Police arrested 45-year-old Gary Whitten of Charleston inside the Keller Funeral Home on Sunday. Officers say no one in attendance knew the man.

A breath test found Whitten's blood-alcohol level to be 0.17 percent.

Kanawha County Magistrate Court records show Whitten was released on bond Monday after being charged with public intoxication, obstructing an officer, resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer and refusing to provide fingerprints.
