New York man arrested for murder after seen wheeling dead wife onto lawn

Authorities in New York arrested a man Saturday who allegedly was seen wheeling a woman’s dead body on a dolly and leaving it on the front lawn of a home.

(FOX)- Anthony Lopez, 31, was charged with murder and concealing a human corpse.

The New York City Police Department said Friday that an off-duty detective saw him wheeling the corpse, covered with a sheet on Staten Island.

When the detective tried to question Lopez, the man fled.

Police said that officers, acting on a tip, located Lopez in Manhattan and arrested him after a brief foot chase.

They said he had shaved his head at some point during the manhunt.
