Three teenagers were arrested after two of them told police they dug up a secluded grave north of Houston, removed the skull from the coffin and converted it into a marijuana bong.

Police believe the grave is that of an 11-year-old boy who died in 1921.

They found a grave in the city of Humble that had been disturbed, but were still investigating the rest of the teens' story, Houston police Sgt. John Chomiak said.

CBS affiliate KHOU-TV in Houston reports that police do not have any physical evidence yet to confirm the story, but felt confident to pursue charges based on statements from the three teens.

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, Chomiak said. A 16-year-old was referred to the Harris County juvenile justice system.

    • Wow, why didn't I think of that when I was younger? This is probably the single most badass thing I have ever heard. The kid had been dead for 87 years... I don't see the problem. Absolutely amazing.

    • That is just plain sick and wrong. I can't even imagine someone doing that -- true they might got the idea from Aqua Teen Hunger Force's Danzig appearance (I can't believe I just said that.) Someone needs to eat chill from their skull being used as a bowl.

      Any of you potheads in Illinois getting ideas of digging out skulls for your bongs, may as well get that idea out of your head right now. Sick assholes. Have they snorted their relatives after they've been cremated? Wait, don't give them any ideas.

    • No, actually. I would also like to take this opportunity to not fill you in on the social/financial benefits of potheads, since I said nothing even remotely related to that originally. I'm going to go get stoned now...I mean more stoned.

    • Lib Ext, you could really use a hit from that bong. Don't think of it as you getting stoned, think of it as "radical personality enhancement" on your part.

    • OH SHIT! How did you ever see through my tough internet facade lapedro? You're probably one of those internet tough guys that threatens to kick people's asses halfway across the globe even though you know you'll never emerge from your grandmothers basement in all your pasty white skinned glory. Perhaps you'd like to fill me in on the social/ financial benefits of potheads, aside from driving up twinkie and ding dong stock prices.

    • lol, stoners... Admit it, you're just pissed because there are no redeeming social qualities to being a pot head. Places like this website exist only so people can get together and try to conjure up ways to make each other feel better about acting like dumbasses.

    • Stupid fucking stoners. More proof that pot turns everyone into lunatics! THIS IS HOW ALL PEOPLE WHO USE MARIJUANA ARE. WE KNOW THIS BECAUSE OF THE KIDS IN THIS STORY. THEY ARE REPRESENTATIONAL OF ALL STONERS. Just like the guy who stole my laptop is representational of all black people. Or, the dog who bit me...that's how I know that all dogs are vicious. Of course I am being facetious. Stop making completely unintelligent generalizations. We actually know these kids are fucked in the head because they are from Texas.

    • Yeah LE, I know what you mean. Everytime I smoke weed I have to fight the urge to go to a graveyard to dig up skulls for bong making.

      Apparently you've seen Reefer Madness one too many times...

    • actually , given the no. of indigent people who die everyday , and whose remains are rarely put to good use , i think the gov't should be making bongs like these , if there's a market for them , and all the proceeds should go towards care for the homeless .

    • What is the deal? I mean, Come On! A skull? How far do you have to go to get high? All you have to do is go to the gas station. They sell, bongs, hookas, glass pieces, papers, blunts. Im sure they weren't part of a cult. Stick to the simple shit to get high. Damn. A human skul, from 1921. This so bizarre and eerie!!

    • "Dude... I am stoned outta my skull!" [A joke so bad, you had to wait for the trickster to tell it]

      My current "job" is the removal and relocation of a 100+ year old cemetery (I'm a Archeologist Tech.). The cemetery happens to be that of my family. I come face to "face" with their remains on a daily basis. I come face to face with the fact that some of the graves have been looted and dishonored. Anger and sadness are what I feel if you happened to ask. I am not religious save only in the shamanic/mystic sense. Bones to me are a collection of minerals and a wonderful way to stay upright. When it is time for me to leave mine, I will have no further use for or sentimentality towards them. BUT... what remains with the remains is the memories and/or connections the family and friends have with the deceased. To find them disturbed or looted strikes at some deep core and becomes quite personal. These urchins that thought a kid's skull would make a good bong should be taken behind the woodshed.... besides, there are too many damn holes in a skull to make it a good candidate for bong-dom. Try a 3 foot long chianti bottle instead.

    • I read through all the responses, some intelligent, others... And yet not one of these people said what they though about if it was their skull. So apparently you can pass judgement on the appropriate use of anothers skull, but not on your own.

      Personally, I say let em' have it, and you can quote me on that one.

    • I would not smoke out of a human skull. There are a LOT of things I have or would smoke weed out of, but an actual skull is not one of them.

      These guys aren't druggies, pot heads, or smokers. People who smoke weed don't get up and dig up skulls to convert into bongs.

    • did these kids ever, at any point in their lives say to themselves, you know what, if i put half the effort im about to put into trying to get high in the most unnecessarily difficult manner imaginable, I could accomplish just about anything that would make my time worth while?

    • Ha this is funny. I really can't get mad. The kid was dead he's not using it. I'm more curious what would prompt him and his buddies to do something like this. It's really out of the ordinary. Thinking outside the box is a good thing so good job guys, you messed up when you told the cops though.

    • i knew a guy once who'd brought back the skull of some dude he met on iwo jima , and had had an argument with over something to do with who should leave the planet first , and he filled it with sand and used it as a doorstop , but only after his wife insisted he couldn't use it as a paperweight on their desk . skulls can be useful , though smoking through one seems sort of weird to me .

    • so many differant and interesting comments ive read. in my oppinion however, i do believe that this is a true story and also they might not have been high at the time it happened ,or possibly on some other type of drugs. i do feel that it was a complete violation to the childs corpes inside the coffen. how sad (rest in peace) not for him. i think that kids get so incredibly bored with the things that have already been done that they feel they need to up the anty, and make there own story.

    • Cannabis and Cannibal sound so similar, what a horrible thing to associate with something so miraculous. Here are two words together that could play on people's fears.

      Although I only say horrible, because it is mostly on religious grounds that people object to both. Frankly I don't see a problem with either.

    • sarahjesse,
      Is it really the pot that ruins lives, or the illegality put on cannabis/hemp that ruins lives? Do you really know anyone that has had their lives ruined due to cannabis/hemp? Would their lives have been ruined due to their own personal problems, had cannabis/hemp not been added to the mix?

      The terms 'pot'/'marijuana' are used to demonize cannabis/hemp. People say it's a gateway drug. I tend to disagree. The gateway comes from the fact that cannabis is not strong enough to wash away the problems they are trying to get away from. Many turn to harder drugs and alcohol searching for a stronger substance to escape from personal problems.

      I have to admit, life is hard and with the propaganda put out about marijuana, they smoke thinking it will make their lives easier. When it doesn't, they move on, in search of some other substance which they think will ease their misery.

    • Oh yeah by the way, pot doesn’t necessarily make you lazy. I use to smoke pot so I can say from experience that it is a little absurd to claim they were incapable of digging up a body. They could’ve done it when they were not on pot just as easily as they could of done it on pot. Stereotypes are lame, come on grow up. Do you know how many people there are who work construction jobs on pot? How about the number of people who smoke pot and play sports? Like I said lame argument. I suspect none of you have actually smoked pot which is really silly since you’re commenting about pot heads.

    • I'm sorry Conneipae - the previous poster mentioned that people will read the story and associate the acts with cannabis use.

      Something very childish rose-up in me, and prompted me to do just that. It was silly.

    • lwhi, this does nothing of the sort. It proves nothing other than kids do bad things and lack respect. Causes necrophiliac tendencies? Because a couple kids act up? Kids steal cars, doesn't make every driver a car thief. Group punishment is wrong! Others should not be held accountable for individuals bad behavior. Punish the ones who misbehave and move on.

      If kids steal legal drugs from their parents medicine cabinets, should we make legal drugs illegal? Doesn't make sense!

      Some comments sound good, but they are misguided, none the less. It's an 'Assault on Reason'.

    • It's disrespectful brats like this who give others excuses to hate marijuana more. They will see this story and think that it's the drug use that causes them to do these acts when in reality they are just punk kids and would be just as disrespectful whether they are smoking pot or not.

      ... I wonder what there parents are like.

      Okay So this is That Kid Kevin Jones. LMFAO. Ya'll Are Funny. First off, I had nothing to Do with this, I took the Heat Cuz i was tired of Being in Harris County, I wanted to GO to TDC already. Thats why, And How Come When i got out, I still had people to back me, Cuz first off, They know i had nothing to Do with it. Im not as Crazy as That Adkins DickHead Made me seem. I just made the mistake Of Hanging out with A Group That Grew up With Screws Loose. Matthew Rule Was stupid for doing that, But if anyone of yall Made the Time To get to know him, Ya'll Would realize he's one of smartest Kids ALIVE. He was Wasted, so was The Other Kid Matthew Gonzales. I was there when they came up with the Great idea. But i Wasnt Crazy Enough to Do it. I left With Some Other friends And got shit faced. AND STILL DO. So to all you people Talkin out your Ass, shut up. I can give you the real Story, And if you want it, Reply to this, Ill shove it up your ass along with anything else You want. O.O. To all the People Who Kept it Cool, I apreciate it, But im really Not that kinda Person. Im Crazy, and Got screws loose, But not to a point where i cant stop and think.

    • i thought poop standed for protesting outrageous oil prices...jk
      ummm i do not think these kids are anything like the average pot head. They were ither severely disturbed, or on other drugs besides pot.
      when was the last time you've heared of a pot head motivated enough to do all that work. I think it's a horrible thing that was done and these kids should pay.
      But trust me something got to them before the weed.

    • I can see how this can be very taboo to a lot of people. Skulls remind us of death and people are scared of death. At the same time these kids are not that weird. I mean they are weird but so are a lot of people. Case in point you ever hear of the Capuchin Church of the Immaculate Conception? Those guys used skeletons for art and more importantly the worship of god. Now that to me is weird.

    • sweetdeal, you are so right. The chances that they dug up a body, prepared a skull for smoking is probably slim to nun.

      In a few months they will report on the back page of some paper, 'it was all a hoax', they didn't dig up a grave to get a body, remove the head, prepare the skull, just to get high.

      Lately there has been a dialog on current and other sites regarding cannabis and industrial hemp. A story soo despicable will stop the conversation. No one will want to talk about cannabis or industrial hemp, because people will think about these three kids in this story smoking from a skull.

      There have been distractions put out by mainstream media and the government every time legal cannabis/hemp is discussed. Thereby stifling the conversation. If they manage to stifle the conversation through yellow journalism, it benefit’s the people who are making money from competitive products.

    • Throughout history there have been dysfunctional people, with no morals, adults and children. Some abuse animals, some rob, murder ...

      Their crime is not due to marijuana. It is due to their lack of morals. They should be shamed and locked up, just like any other criminal.

      Grave robbers for any reason is a terrible, terrible thing. Shame on them. It's hard to think of what could be worse, but sad to say despicable things are done every day.

      Despicable people who do despicable things are the ones who should be in jail.

    • That is going to fuck with their heads, seriously, the ghost spirit of that child will haunt them forever. Probably until they will end up killing themselves to try to get away from the ghost, but lifes irony, is that if you are dead, you are still a ghost & can still be haunted by another ghost. It's true, I saw it on Scooby Doo.

    • Besides, what the hell is this all about?

      "Houston reports that police do not have any physical evidence yet to confirm the story, but felt confident to pursue charges based on statements from the three teens. "

      They don't even have evidence! Even if you have a level 5 pothead on your hands who talks about how sweet it would be to have a skull as a bong, there is no way this person could muster up enough motivation to leave the couch. And the ability to engineer a bong out of a skull? The technical skill to achieve that is pretty advanced.

      I'm guessing that this story is manufactured propaganda directed towards the war on drugs. And also designed to distract us from stuff that matters. Stuff like smoking weed out of normal bongs with pretty ladies.
