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.
