Police find dead body during DUI arrest

Monrovia, MD. — Police in Frederick County, MD made a grim discovery during a DUI arrest - a dead body inside the vehicle.

Officers were called to a Costco Distribution Center after reports of a truck driver who was under the influence.

The driver became ‘argumentative’ and attempted to flee, only to run over spike strips. 

Officers finally broke a window and tased him.

After he was in custody, police found the body of a woman on the floorboard of the vehicle.

The driver, 46-year-old Matthew Watley, is charged with 1st and 2nd-degree murder. 

The victim’s identity or cause of death have not been made public.
