Police say the video -- recorded by this friend but sent to them anonymously Tuesday -- showed Martin removing a chain and medallion from the 25-year-old man who medical examiners say hanged himself.
Martin told police the 16-year old liked the pendant, so she took it off the man and gave it to her, the affidavit said. The unnamed 16-year old put the deceased man’s charm on her necklace to wear because it “matched her fashion style,” police said.
Police returned the man’s belongings to his next of kin.
The sheriff’s office arrested both teenagers, charging them with stealing from a human corpse.
