RIVERSIDE — A man was arrested at a local cemetery this week after reportedly digging up part of a grave in Riverside.

When officers arrived on the scene, they found Bobby Moore Jr. and a woman.

“While standing there looking at their makeshift homeless camp, [an officer] observed the top portion of the grace stone was broken and the head part of the burial site was dug up,” the report stated.

Officers noted that Moore refused to provide identification. A Riverside sergeant went to grab the man’s arm to arrest him and he tried to run away but was caught by officers.
