DENVER -- It's like that movie "Weekend at Bernie's."
Two men face charges, accused of transporting the body of a friend to various Denver-area bars and using his credit card.
Denver police arrested Robert Jeffrey Young, 43, and Mark Rubinson, 25, for investigation of abuse of a corpse, criminal impersonation and identity theft.
The incident was reported on Aug. 28, but the two weren't arrested until last week, according to court records.
According to a search warrant affidavit, the two men put the body of Jeffrey Jarrett in a car and went barhopping before returning him to their home and notifying police.
Jarrett's body remained in the back seat while the pair drank and ate at Teddy T's bar and grill and Sam's No. 3, according to the affidavit. After they dropped him off at home, they took his bank card and continued on at Viva Burrito and Shotgun Willie's, where they withdrew $400 from an ATM and stayed until closing time, according to the affidavit.
"This is a bizarre and unfortunate crime," Denver Police Department spokesman Sonny Jackson told The Post. "This isn't anything you want to have happen to a loved one. You want them treated with respect in death."
The two men have not been charged in Jarrett's death. An investigation into how Jarrett died is under way and is pending toxicology tests.
Young and Rubinson are currently free on bond.
