Govt Head Fakes His Death by Jumping Into Coffin to Avoid Arrest, Claiming He Is A COVID-19 Victim
May 25, 2020
The mayor of a small town in Peru tried to play dead after being caught by police violating coronavirus lockdown rules while drinking with friends. 
Jaime Rolando Urbina Torres was pictured lying in an open casket wearing a face mask by officers who came to arrest him on Monday night in the town of Tantará, in the south of the country.
Police say he violated curfew and social distancing laws in order to drink liquor with his friends, and was drunk when he was arrested.
It is not clear exactly where he and his friends were drinking, or why there were open caskets close at hand. 
 Angry locals say Torres has spent just eight days in the town since the start of the lockdown, and has failed to put in place any local safety measures. Video shows that he had been questioning by cops in police bureau.
According to local media, he was repeatedly shot down by his own officials when he gave excuses for failing to open emergency coronavirus quarantine shelters. He was also accused of failing to put in proper safety checks to ensure people from outside the town cannot enter it.
