CLEVELAND, OHIO (CBS/AP) The dead man didn't rest in peace.
At Detrick Simmons' funeral, a battle erupted between his current wife and ex-wife over custody of his 12-year-old girl, Antonia.

Police promptly arrived at the scene to break up the melee. One person was arrested on an outstanding warrant, according to FOX 8 Cleveland.
