Witnesses waved down police at the cemetery and said that an SUV was driving over gravesites and “trying to run people over,” the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported, citing court documents.
The ex-boyfriend’s father told police that Whitten was not welcome at the funeral and saw her speeding across the cemetery.
A second witness said that Whitten was not wanted at the burial ceremony because she had made negative posts on social media about the ex-boyfriend’s death. He said that he approached Whitten in her SUV to ask her to leave but she accelerated toward him, forcing him to jump out of the vehicle’s path.

Whitten was booked in the Cass County Jail. She pleaded not guilty at a court hearing Monday.
