Two charged after a man in a cardboard box was run over at Bethany Cemetery

Louisville Metro Police arrested Brad Brinkley and Thomas Litsey.

Police said the death was a hit-and-run at a Louisville cemetery.

The death happened at Bethany Cemetery.

Carl Michael Kinley was fatally run over.

Brad Brinkley is 40.

Thomas Litsey is 60.

Charles Barbe identified his brother as Carl "Mikey" Michael Kinley.

Carl Michael Kinley was 45.

Kinley was inside a large cardboard box.

Police described the box as large enough to fit a refrigerator.

Police placed the collision on a Tuesday.

Brad Brinkley is accused of driving over Kinley with a truck.

Tire marks indicated the cardboard box had been run over.

The box had tire marks on it.

After the impact, Brinkley drove back to see what he had hit.

Brinkley saw Kinley's hand sticking out of the crushed box.

Witnesses said Brinkley sat in his truck with his head down, then left without speaking to anyone.

Cemetery staff said Brinkley usually stayed after funerals and helped remove tarps.

Cemetery employees flagged down a Louisville Metro police officer.

LMPD officers responded to a report of a person down at the cemetery.

A man was found dead at the cemetery.

Brinkley told groundskeeper Litsey what happened.

Police said Brinkley told Litsey he knew he had run over a person before leaving.

Police say Thomas Litsey tried to cover up Brinkley's role.

Litsey first said he found the body, then said Brinkley told him about it.

Thomas Litsey was a groundskeeper at the cemetery.

Thomas Litsey was charged with complicity to tampering with physical evidence.

Brad Brinkley was charged with reckless homicide.

Brinkley was also charged with leaving the scene, tampering with physical evidence, and failing to report the crash.

LMPD moved the case from the Homicide Unit to the Traffic Unit.

LMPD said Kinley walked into the cemetery on his own.

Police believe Kinley was alive under the box before he was run over.

Kinley died of blunt force trauma.

A judge set Brinkley's bond at $250,000 and Litsey's bond at $50,000.

Brinkley and Litsey are due back in court later this month.

Police said Brinkley could not explain why he left without calling them after seeing the hand.

Charles Barbe said he had a million questions.

The family questioned why Kinley was in the box.

Charles Barbe said he had never heard of his brother sleeping in a cardboard box.

Charles Barbe said his brother struggled with drugs.

Barbe said Kinley lived nearby and rented a room.
