Mistaking the cremated remains of a man and two dogs for powdered drugs, five Marion County teenage burglars snorted the ashes after a break-in last month, at a Florida residence, according to police.
A Marion County Sheriff’s Office report dated January 16, provides information received from a source, likely one of the arrestees, who told deputies that the ashes “had been taken because the suspects mistook it for either cocaine or heroin.”
Investigators learned that the teen suspects “had snorted the ashes believing they were snorting cocaine.” At some point, however, the alleged burglars determined that the powdered substances were not drugs, but that they had stolen “the remains from the dogs and the victims father.”
Waldo Soroa, 19, along with Jose Diaz Marrero, 19; Matrix Andaluz, 18; and two 17-year-olds, were all arrested on an variety of criminal charges.
