Seriously ~ WTF Is Wrong With People?


Two men accused of driving around with a dead friend and using his ATM card to withdraw $400 at a strip club are charged with abusing a corpse, identity theft and criminal impersonation, the Associated Press reports.

According to the arrest affidavit, Robert Jeffery Young, 43, and Mark Rubinson, 25 went out for one last night of fun with the deceased Jeffrey Jarret on the night of Aug. 27.

The Denver Post reports that Jarret, while still living, had invited a financially struggling Young, an old friend from Colorado State University, to stay with him until Young caught a break. But on the night of Aug. 27, Young arrived at Jerret's Denver home to find him unresponsive. Instead of calling 911 to help Jarret (Jarret may or may not have been dead at that point), Young took Jarret's unresponsive body and went to the restaurant where Rubinson worked.

That's when the bizarre real-life version of the movie "Weekend at Bernie's" party began for Young and Rubinson.

7News reports that Young and Rubinson put Jarret's body in the back seat of their car and went on an eating and drinking spree at multiple Denver restaurants and bars including Teddy T's Bar and Grill and Sam's No. 3. The two suspects then went back to Jarret's home and dropped off his body, but they took Jarret's bank card and headed to Shotgun Willie's, a Denver-area strip club, and stayed until the club closed.

Finally after leaving the strip club, around 4 a.m. the two flagged down a Glendale cop and told him that their friend was back at his house and that he might be dead, Fox31 reports.

It's unclear how Jeffrey Jarrett died, but the men are not charged in his death, according to the Associated Press. Robert Jeffrey Young and Mark Rubinson are free on bond but they couldn't be reached for comment Thursday.

  1. The article says they couldn't be reached for comment. Maybe, they're back at the strip club.

  3. Mr. Patty was all wtf so Patty reasoned that maybe they were just trying to send their friend off with a bang. And, why shouldn't he pay for it all? You can't take it with you!

    Not that Patty approves of "abuse of a corpse," just trying to get in their heads. Freaky.

  5. I'm confused...the article says they are not charged or suspected in his death...how and/or why would the police come to that conclusion without a cause of death and witnesses to back up their version of events?
