*A Texas woman became so enraged that her boyfriend cheated on her that she dumped his mother’s ashes into Lake Worth.
Augustine Gladney, 40, dumped the ashes that belonged to 38-year-old Ernest Smith‘s mother into the lake in 2020 and was charged with the crime on May 4, according to the Fort Worth Police Department, according to NBCDFW.
In Texas, abuse of a corpse is a Class A misdemeanor that carries a $4,000 fine and up to a year in prison, per the Fort Worth police report.
Smith told officers that he overheard a phone conversation between Gladney and her daughter, during which his girlfriend admitted that she threw the urn in the lake.
