TULSA, OK -- A suspect wanted for attempted murder in Wichita, Kansas was arrested in Tulsa on Monday.

Tulsa Police say officers responded to a disturbance at 70 East 51st Place and found 32-year old Bobby Edwards along with several other "drunken" individuals standing near a coffin.

Police say a funeral wake was being held in the home at the time.

Police say Edwards, who was bleeding, was leaning on the coffin in the home. When officers questioned Edwards about his identity he lied and gave several fake names.

Officers eventually determined Edwards' true identity and that he was wanted on attempted first degree murder and aggravated robbery charges stemming from a September 16 incident in Wichita.

He was booked into the Tulsa County jail.
