   HOUSTON — Three Kingwood teens have been arrested and accused of digging up a secluded grave and removing a skull in Humble, a city north of Houston.[/p]Kevin Wade Jones, 17, and Matthew Richard Gonzalez, 17, both of Kingwood, told Houston police that around March 15 they and a 16-year old juvenile dug up a grave, removed the skull from the coffin and converted it into a "bong," a device used to smoke marijuana, according to court documents.     Jones and Gonzalez were arrested Wednesday night and are being held on misdemeanor abuse of a corpse charges, said Houston police Sgt. John Chomiak. The juvenile was referred to Harris County juvenile justice system.[/p]Houston police were initially interviewing Jones about the use of a stolen debit card when Jones told them about the grave theft, according to court records. Asked why Jones would volunteer such a story, Chomiak said, "we can only speculate and guess to what goes on in the criminal mind."     Gonzalez confirmed the story to investigators in a follow-up interview. Police were led to a heavily-wooded site in Humble where they found a knocked-over headstone and water-filled hole more than four feet deep. At the time, the muddy water did not allow police to see if the coffin had been disturbed.[/p]The grave belonged to Willie Simms, according to court documents. Chomiak said that Simms' next-of-kin had not been notified. While residents in the area knew of the cemetery's existence, it did not appear to be maintained. Preliminary reports indicated it was a 19th-century "veterans" cemetery, he said.
