A Nashville man was arrested after authorities say he flushed his brother's cremated remains down a toilet during an alleged break-in at their mother's home.

Adell Totten, the man accused, reportedly broke into his mother's home Saturday by smashing a window before dismantling indoor security cameras. Authorities charged Totten with aggravated burglary and abuse of a corpse.

He put the ashes in the toilet and stole a $10 cap from the property, police said as reported by WREG Memphis. The victim, Totten's mother, called police and confirmed her son no longer lives at the residence​.

His bond details are unknown.
