Drug suspect says he kept body on ice ‘for religious reasons’


Uh-huh.


Waiting for services to start

A man who was found with a woman’s body packed in dry ice in his hotel room told a newspaper that the situation was in some way connected to religion…

“Everything that happened was for religious reasons,” Stephen David Royds told The Orange County Register…

Royds was arrested Thursday at the Fairmont Newport Beach for investigation of selling and possessing cocaine, police Sgt. Evan Sailor said.

In his room, detectives found the body of Monique Felicia Trepp, 33, fully clothed inside a large Rubbermaid container.

Maybe it’s a new religion?
