Getting Ahead in Texas

Texans Matthew Richard Gonzalez, left, and Kevin Wade Jones, both 17, have been accused, along with a younger boy, of digging up the corpse of an 11-year-old who died in 1921, hacking off his head, and using the skull as a bong. It was Jones who spilled the story to the cops while being questioned about a car burglary. Police didn't believe him until they visited Gonzalez at home. "He regurgitated in his plate of food when I asked him about it," said a detective, "so I knew there was some truth to the story." Abuse of a corpse is a misdemeanor. The pot may be a diferent story. The skull is still missing. (AP; Chronicle)
