Suspect gets 15 days for concealing wife’s dead body

Eloy, Ariz. — A 70-year-old Oklahoma man has been sentenced to 15 days in an Arizona jail for concealing the dead body of his wife in his vehicle.

Rodney Puckett has already served more than 180 days in jail and is scheduled to be released Nov. 23.

Puckett was arrested May 13 after an Eloy restaurant worker reported seeing a car going through the drive-thru with a naked body in the front seat.

Puckett told police his 74-year-old wife died at a Texas hotel.

An autopsy shows she suffered from heart disease.
