Wilson, OK-- A Wilson man is behind bars in the Carter County Detention Center Sunday evening for allegedly selling a car that didn't belong to him. That vehicle also contained ash remains of the owners wife that were still inside.

Wilson police say Patrick Williamson is facing felony charges after he allegedly sold the van that belonged to the land lord of the property he was renting.

Officials say the van the had sat on the property for about a year and was being used as storage facility by the property's owner.
A scrap company paid Williamson one hundred and twenty five dollars for the van and then towed it away.

What was an even bigger loss to the van's owner than the van itself was his wife's ashes that were inside when it was scrapped.
