Grave Diggers Admit They Used Skull as Bong

Three Kingwood were arrested after admitting to Houston police they had dug up a child’s corpse, removing the skull and then turning it into a bong which they used to smoke marijuana.

"They cut the jaw off of it and wrapped it in electrical tape and used it to make a bong," Officer Jim Adkins tells the local Fox affiliate.

Kevin Wade Jones, 17, and Matthew Richard Gonzalez, 17, were arrested Wednesday night and are being held on misdemeanor charges of corpse abuse.

Houston police were initially interviewing Jones about the use of a stolen debit card, when he decided to tell them about the grave theft. Police officials had no idea why Jones offered to tell them the story, which obviously, would get him into more trouble…

"We can only speculate and guess to what goes on in the criminal mind," Sgt. John Chomiak of Houston police said, according to the Associated Press.

Gonzalez confirmed the story told by Jones, in a following interview. The police were led to a gravesite in Humble, where they found a headstone that had been knocked over, near a hole filled with muddy water. Residents in the area said they knew about the cemetery, but that it was not maintained.

According to court documents, the grave belonged to Willie Simms, an 11-year-old boy who died in 1921. Simms’ survivors have not been contacted by the police yet.

"Nobody deserves that--not even a corpse," Carolyn Gonzalez, Matthew Gonzalez’s mother, said, according to Fox 26.

The corpse’s skull could not be recovered.
