Police told a man a container in his car tested positive for drugs. It was his daughter’s ashes.
What kind of dumb ass carries the cremated remains of loved ones around in their car?

Dartavius Barnes sat handcuffed inside a squad car in Springfield, Ill., looking confused as police told him they’d found a container in the center console of his car that tested positive for meth or ecstasy.
Then the officer showed him what they’d tested: a small metallic object. Barnes sprang from his seat in horror.
“No, no, no, bro, that’s my daughter,” Barnes yelled, body-camera video of the April 2020 incident shows. “What y’all doing, bro? That’s my daughter!”

That container, Barnes told the officer, was a small urn storing the ashes of his 2-year-old daughter — not an illegal substance.
Police eventually released Barnes without arresting him after both Barnes and his father, who was also present at the scene, pleaded with officers to give back the ashes of Ta’Naja Barnes, a 2-year-old girl who died of neglect and starvation in February 2019. Her mother, Twanka L. Davis, and her boyfriend, were later sentenced to decades in prison for the toddler’s death.
