Grave diggers use skull as bong
Friday, May 9, 2008
A group of teenagers have dug up a secluded grave, removed the skull of a boy from the coffin and converted it into a marijuana bong.
Police found out about the grave theft whilst interviewing Kevin Wade Jones, 17, about the use of a stolen debit card and he told them all about it.
Police in Houston believe the grave is that of an 11-year-old boy who died in 1921.
Kevin Wade Jones, 17, and Matthew Richard Gonzalez, 17, both of Kingwood, were arrested Wednesday night and were being held on misdemeanor charges of abuse of a corpse. A 16-year-old was referred to the Harris County juvenile justice system.
The grave theft purportedly occurred around March 15, according to court documents
Police were led to a heavily wooded site in the city of Humble where they found a knocked-over headstone and water-filled hole more than 1.2 meters deep.
Police Sgt. John Chomiak said: "They dug into this gravesite and that was enough to warrant the abuse of corpse charge."
Preliminary reports indicate the grave was part of a 19th-century veterans cemetery.

Question: If it was a 19th-century veterans cemetery, why was an 11-year-old boy who died in 1921 buried there??
And will these three be willing to sell their new bong?
