Tennessee man, 34, 'tried to resurrect his grandmother' who died in 2012 and caused $30,000 of damage at a cemetery by breaking headstones and digging holes

Danny Frazier, 34 , of Knoxville, Tennessee, admitted to causing the damage in an attempt to 'resurrect' his grandmother who is buried at Huckleberry Springs Cemeter

A Tennessee man who said he was trying to resurrect his dead grandmother caused $30,000 worth of damage at a cemetery.

Knoxville deputies responded to a report of vandalism at a church cemetery on Huckleberry Springs Road around 2.30pm on Monday.

When they arrived, they found Danny Frazier, 34, around broken headstones and several dug holes, reported WVLT.

He told authorities he had been trying to 'resurrect' his grandmother who died in 2012 and was buried at the cemetery.

A witness allegedly told police that a homeless man had been loitering in the cemetery and causing damage, according to WVLT.

Frazier was in the process of digging holes and breaking headstones when authorities arrived on the scene.

Damage was originally estimated to be between $10,000 and $60,000 before an official assessment put the bill at $30,00.

Online records indicate Frazier's grandmother was Edna Ruth Frazier who passed away at age 70 in June 2012.

It is unclear if Frazier has any previous criminal history and there is no indication that he is homeless.

However, records indicate he was evicted from an apartment in 2015 after refusing to leave.

According to inmate records, he was charged with two felony counts, one for vandalism and the other for criminal trespassing.

His bond at the Knox County Jail is set for $20,000 and his preliminary hearing is scheduled for October 19.

The Knox County Sheriff's Office did not immediately return DailyMail.com's request for comment.

Epstein appears in the series of images surrounded by nubile young women, including s...
