Fight at Myrtle Beach funeral home sends one to jail, one to hospital

One woman was arrested and one man was taken to the hospital after a fight broke out in a Myrtle Beach funeral home Saturday.

Myrtle Beach police officers responded to Ocean View Funeral Home & Cremation Services, LLC, at 1212 Carver Street in reference to a fight in progress around 3:15 p.m.

A witness told police Corey Caradell Bellamy, 23, started to throw chairs and was being “very loud” during a funeral service. Bellamy told officers he did not agree with his family’s final plans for his loved one and he “kind of lost control,” according to the police report.

Bellamy told the responding officer he had a bad heart and was having trouble breathing so the officer asked for an ambulance to be dispatched. A victim asked the officer to arrest Bellamy – a request that spurred another mourner, 26-year-old Jasmine Shante Chaney to push the victim, according to the report.

Chaney was charged with third-degree assault and battery and was transported to the Myrtle Beach Jail. Bellamy was transported by EMS to Grand Strand Regional Medical Center for an evaluation.
