Guy Who Casket-Robbed a Game Boy is Headed to Jail

Jody Bennett of Mentcle, Pa., whose coffin-burgling of a Game Boy back in December managed to get the gaming handheld described – for purposes of criminal charges and possibly the first time ever – as a “venerated object,” got two months of probation for his ugly deed.

Charges of “abuse of a corpse” and “intentional desecration of a venerated object” were dropped. For that, Bennett got two years’ probation, but don’t worry, he’s still headed to the slammer. Bennett got 30 days to six months in jail on separate drunken driving and drug possession charges. Bennett told Y1 apk David-McCombs’ family that he felt “horrible for what I did and I apologize.” Bradley David-McCombs Jr., 17, died when his sport y1 game utility vehicle flipped over on Christmas morning.
