Last week a woman who
claimed to have found human remains in a Texarkana, Ark., cemetery was arrested
after pieces of a mausoleum were allegedly discovered in her Jeep.
Jessica Elaine Davis, 34, allegedly called 911 at 9 p.m. on Dec.
12 while at Woodlawn Cemetery at 3000 County Ave. in Texarkana, Ark.. Davis
allegedly reported finding teeth and a skull while using a metal detector,
according to a probable cause affidavit used to create the following account.
Davis was reportedly covered in dirt and also bleeding from one finger when met
by officers in the graveyard.
"Davis then showed me a small, white pebble that she claimed
was a tooth," the affidavit states. "Davis then showed me several
pieces of mortar that she was claiming to be a skull."
Davis went on to tell the officer that she found six buried
pigeons and that she believed "someone was dead at this location."
Davis allegedly led officers to a mausoleum where she claimed to
have discovered the "teeth and skulls." The mausoleum appeared to
have been recently disturbed as bricks and mortar had been removed.
Davis allegedly admitted to having removed the bricks and mortar
while using her metal detector in the area, later adding that she was cleaning
the mausoleum because it belonged to her dead Jewish ancestors. Asked for the
names of her deceased relatives, Davis allegedly was unable to provide that
information but replied, "S***, I don't know. They survived the
Holocaust."
While speaking with Davis next to her 2018 Jeep Cherokee, officers
allegedly noticed a strong odor of burned marijuana coming from the interior.
During a search of the vehicle, officers allegedly found pieces of mortar and
rock they believed came from the damaged mausoleum.
Davis was arrested for defacing objects of public respect, a felony
offense. She is free on a $5,000 bond. She is scheduled to appear in circuit
court in Miller County in January.

finalist for Quote of the Year, concerning her Jewish ancestors: "S***, I don't know. They survived the Holocaust."
