Better late than never

Yeah, actually, that principle doesn't really apply here:

Officers say Jerry Maestas drove to the hospital Tuesday with the 33-year-old woman's decomposing body propped up in the passenger seat.

The 64-year-old Maestas asked hospital staff to come outside and help his sick friend. Police spokesman Jeremy Apodaca says the staff could tell by the smell that the woman had been dead for some time.

Man, I doubt there are enough air fresheners in the world to get that smell out of his car.

Seriously, though, he's being charged with failing to report the woman's death.
