Some teenagers thought they came away with nearly $3,000 in cash and valuables and, they thought, a fancy box filled with cocaine.
That wasn’t quite the case:
A trio of teenage burglars (…) thought they got away with a stash of cocaine they found in a wooden box, only to later discover that the powder was actually the cremated remains of the homeowner’s father, police report.
How did 17-year-old Devin Gesell (pictured above) and his two underage accomplices come to realize the “cocaine” was actually “a dead man’s ashes?” Trial and (very unfortunate) error, apparently:
She says the three thought the ashes stored in a container was cocaine, but after they tasted it, they realized what they had really stolen. However, instead of bring it back, they scattered the ashes all over the highway as they fled.
