A Texas embalmer is facing an abuse of a corpse charge after she allegedly cut off a dead man’s penis and stuffed it in his mouth.

According to a probable cause arrest affidavit, authorities began investigating when the Harris County Constable’s Office Precinct 1 received a complaint from the Texas Funeral Service Commission. The complaint was lodged by a funeral director for Claire Brothers Funeral Home, which operates Memorial Mortuary and Crematory where the alleged incident occurred.

The funeral director said employees alerted her that 34-year-old Amber Paige Laudermilk, a licensed embalmer, had mutilated a corpse. After learning the decedent 58-year-old Charles Roy Rodriguez was a registered sex offender, Laudermilk allegedly took a scalpel on Feb. 7, cut off part of his manhood and “stuffed it in his mouth.” She told an employee, a trainee, who was prepping another body at the time and witnessed the incident, “You didn’t see anything,” the affidavit said. The employee perceived Laudermilk’s manner to be “threatening,” according to cops.

When other employees went to go see the body, Laudermilk allegedly covered his groin area with a sheet and said he had “a lot going on with him.”

According to the sex offender registry, Rodriguez was convicted in 2008 of sexually assaulting a woman. He received 10 years of deferred adjudication, Constable Alan Rosen said in a statement.
