At the end of a long bar crawl, it’s always nice to have a friend that’ll pick up the tab.
It’s a whole different story when that friend is waiting out in the car...dead. Fox News reports...
“Abusing a corpse, criminal impersonation, and identity theft. Those are the charges two men face now after cops say they drove a dead guy, a friend of theirs, around and used his ATM card.”
The media are comparing it to the 1989 comedy “Weekend at Bernie’s.” But some plots are better left to the movies. KUSA has the chilling details...
“The gentleman avoiding eye contact in his mugshot is Robert Young. Police say he found his roommate and friend 43-year old James Jarrett dead inside their home in the Virginia Village neighborhood of Denver. Instead of calling for help like say anyone else would’ve, police say that Young enlisted this man, another friend, Mark Rubinson, to load Jarrett’s dead body into his SUV and hit the road.”
So just what were these guys thinking? CinemaBlend.com writes...
“The men confess that the body stayed in the car while they drank on Jarrett’s tab. They eventually brought Jarrett’s body back to his house, then headed out with the dead man’s ATM card. Classy.”
After the bars, Young and Rubinson’s night had a classy ending. The National Enquirer writes...
“The fiends rounded their night off by stopping by a strip club. About 4 AM after they were spent, Young and Rubinson FINALLY told authorities about the soon-to-be-rotting corpse in the car.”
Police say it’s still not clear how Jarrett died.
