Wisconsin Man Admits to Mixing His Mother’s Cremated Remains with Marijuana, Police Say

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. 26-year-old Austin Schroeder and his girlfriend, 21-year-old Kaitlin Geiger, each face felony drug charges after a tip led authorities to their apartment. 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. The complaint does not specify if Schroeder mixed his mother’s remains with any of the drugs he is accused of selling.
