A Chicago woman who was arrested and accused of murder after DNA evidence connected her to the fatal stabbing of her boyfriend was also accused of dancing during her initial arrest.

The Chicago Police Department reported on Dec. 3 that Whitney Wilcox, 40, had been taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder months after the stabbing death of her boyfriend Jeremy Rodgers, 42. The incident took place in February, and Wilcox had been arrested at the scene. But new court records stated that during that arrest, Wilcox allegedly asked a Google device to play music — then proceeded to dance while handcuffed.
