MAN HOLD UP!  A group of teens is accused of taking a box of cremated remains after mistaking it for drugs.  According to documents obtained by “The Smoking Gun,” one of the teens, 17-year-old Devin Gesell of Missouri, is facing a second degree burglary charge for the November crime, while the other two teens are being tried as juveniles.  Gesell admitted that the group stole the box containing the ashes of the victim’s father because they believed it was a stash of cocaine.  They only discovered their mistake after one of them ingested the remains to test it.  The remains were discarded after they found out they weren’t drugs.  The group also stole nearly one-thousand-dollars in cash, jewelry and prescription pills.
