Man Arrested After Keeping Body Rolled Up In Carpet

A St. Louis man is in trouble for taking a while to do the right thing. According to reports, 48 year old David Thompson was at his apartment with a new found friend named Glenn Williams when Glenn suffered a fatal fentanyl overdose. David being scared of a pending case and afraid of what his landlord would say, wrapped up the body in a layer of plastic, then wrapped it in saran wrap, and again in two rugs all held together with rope. He then waited 5 days to dispose of the body where he dragged it to a nearby parking pad. Later he called 9-1-1 to report a suspicious rug. Police came out to investigate and that's when they noticed a few things. The investigating officer noticed a trail of carpet fibers leading from the body right to Dave's apartment.
