The famous tourist who was filmed snorting cocaine from Pablo Escobar’s grave was seen being taken into police custody recently.
Sources from local media outlets identified the suspect as 39-year-old Steven Semmens who was filmed kneeling by and spilling white power on the tombstone of the notorious cartel boss.
So many gang members became angered by this behavior for obvious reasons. And that is what led this suspect to shave his head and enter into a period of hiding.
In 2018, he opted to snort the drug off Escobar’s grave as a part of a bet that he made when he was drunk.
“I was drinking with a friend and he told me to sniff cocaine off of it, I did not mean or intend to do any harm”- he further explained.
His friend reportedly gave him nearly 200 Pounds for the horrifying act and dared him to go on Facebook Live to do it and it really shocked a lot of people.
The incident became viral in no time and that is what led to a lot of people sending him death threats. Before he knew it, he was kicked out of the Columbian nation after the cops found him. However, he was never charged and told to never come to Columbia again.
Plenty of people have bombarded him with all these threats and have even gone on to mention that they’d love to see him skinned alive.
He begs for mercy for his mistake and now, after years, he’s been arrested as many feel this was an act that should have landed him in jail, a long time back.
