WAUKESHA, Wis. — A Wisconsin couple’s drug bust took a strange turn when one of the suspects told police he cut his product with an unusual substance: his mother’s cremated remains.
Austin Schroeder, 26, and his girlfriend, 21-year-old Kaitlin Geiger, 21, each face felony drug charges after a tip led authorities to their apartment, WITI reported.
According to a criminal complaint, however, Schroeder told authorities his mother died a little more than one year ago and he mixed some of her ashes with a variety of substances, some of which he ultimately ingested,” WISN reported.
Geiger told authorities “Schroeder creates drugs with chemicals using a pot on a stove,” WITI reported.
The complaint does not specify if Schroeder mixed his mother’s remains with any of the drugs he is accused of selling, the station reported.
