HUMBLE, Texas, May 12 (UPI) -- A Humble, Texas, pastor called on his congregation to forgive four teens accused of unearthing a dead body to smoke marijuana out of its skull.

Pastor Scott Jones said it is the church's duty to forgive the teens accused of using a dead boy's skull as a marijuana bong, KHOU-TV, Houston reported Monday.

"Let the judicial system do what it's going to do. But as for us, as a congregation, it's our responsibility to release those guys into the hands of God and the hands of the judges," Jones said.

The news report said Grace Church is responsible for taking care of the old Humble Negro Cemetery, where the teens allegedly dug up the 11-year-old boy's body.

Three of the four suspects have been taken into police custody and the final teen could potentially face charges, KHOU-TV said.
