Man Allegedly Steals Game Boys from Teenager’s Casket [Theft]

Jody Lynn Bennett , 37, of Mentcle, Pa. was apparently short of a Game Boy on Wednesday. So he popped by the local funeral home and allegedly picked a couple up-from the open casket of a dead 17-year-old.

Bradley McCombs Jr. (pictured), a high school junior, died on Christmas Day when his car crashed into a utility pole. His funeral was Wednesday, and, as a tribute to at least one of his hobbies, one imagines, his family placed Game Boys and Game Boy cartridges within the casket. And Bennett-whose family is friends with the McCombses-arrived, apparently unable to tell the variation between ” coffin” and ” goodie bag” :

The boy’s uncle, Robert McCombs Jr., approached Bennett after Bennett got in his vehicle and was about to drive away.

He asked Bennett about a missing Game Boy.

” The defendant told the uncle that he failed to have the Game Boy,” consistent with the affidavit of probable cause.

” The uncle then told the defendant that he could see the Game Boy within the vehicle. The defendant then produced the Game Boy and returned it to the uncle.”

As that video system was being returned to the casket, members of the family noticed that a Game Boy Light and three games were missing.

Oy. Well, on the only hand, the man managed to grave rob with no need to dig up a grave, that is a kind of monumentally disturbing crime. Nevertheless? Bennet, in line with his aunt, is ” into alcohol” and is ” just messed up.” So I’ll just say here is ” the weirdest sad story I’ve read this week” and get in touch with it a post.
