What people will do to get out of work....

Recently in Waterloo, Iowa Police arrested two people accused of filing a fake obituary for teenager Dan "D.J." Reddout with a newspaper to get off work for a few days. Police arrested James Ralph Snyder, who is the boyfriend of Reddout's mother, and the boy's mother, Mary Jo Elizabeth Jensen, submitted a death notice to the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier newspaper, saying that Jensen's 17-year-old son had died at the Mayo Clinic after a lengthy illness. They worked at Tyson Foods and wanted some time off but their plan failed when the teen was spotted at a restaurant.
