Rest easy, grandmothers of New York: New York's Finest have bagged Larry Davis, the horny stoner grandson accused of killing his grandmother and going on a two-day sex romp while her corpse rotted in the bedroom closet under a pile of dirty clothes. What a world! The Daily News reports that Davis, 22, was busted just before midnight last night after two weeks on the lam. He's charged with murder and criminal contempt for violating an order of protection that his poor grandmother, 76-year-old Cora Davis, had futilely filed against her allegedly murderous grandson.
Davis's body was discovered in the Harlem apartment's bedroom closet after concerned relatives went to check on Davis. To their surprise, they walked in on L.D. and a half-naked Nakeema Craig, who swears she had no idea she was having sex and smoking reefer with a dead grandmother in the closet for two days. L.D. ran from the apartment, but Craig stayed at the scene and was briefly arrested. ("I was basically in the wrong place at the wrong time," she later recalled.) Sources tell the News that Davis died from blunt impact to the neck and spinal cord.
It's unclear where police finally caught up with L.D., but we can only assume he's spent the last two weeks wandering around in abject grief, unable to accept the loss of his beloved nanna, which no amount of fornication or marijuana can bring back from the dead.
