Last edited Mon Jul 22, 2013, 12:46 AM - Edit history (1)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - An East Nashville man was arrested after he allegedly stole a box full of human ashes that his family said he more than likely believed was a bag full of cocaine.
"William thought it was drugs, he thought he'd done found him a box of cocaine is what he thought," explained the man's grandmother, Wanda Allen.
According to a police affidavit, William "Billy" Cantrell took an XBox from his neighbor along with a small box last week. His grandmother said the 28-year-old brought both of the items back to her house on North 2nd Street but she believes he was not sober at the time of the incident.
"If he gets to drinking and doing drugs he's out there. He needs help. There needs to be more to it than putting him in jail," she explains.
