'Weekend at Bernie's' suspects plead guilty to abusing a corpse
DENVER -- Two men arrested for going out for a night of drinking, dining and strippers with a deceased friend in the backseat of their car pleaded guilty Thursday.
Robert Young, 43, and Mark Rubinson, 25, pleaded guilty to abuse of a corpse, a class-two misdemeanor. Additionally, Young pleaded guilty to a more serious charge of felony identity theft. Both will be sentenced on March 8.
According to the Denver District Attorney’s Office, Young found 43-year-old Jeffrey Jarrett unresponsive at his home in the 1800 block of S. Forest St. on the night of Aug. 27, 2011. Instead of calling 911, detectives say they placed Jarrett in the backseat of Rubinson’s SUV and went for a ride.
Their first stop was at Teddy T’s, a bar and grill at E. Evans Ave. and S. Monaco Pkwy, where investigators say they used Jarrett’s credit card to pay for drinks. Later in the evening, they went to eat at Sam’s No. 3, with Jarrett still in the backseat. According to police, Young and Rubinson eventually took Jarrett back home and put him in bed, and then went back out for more fun on the town.
