At one end, his head was wrapped in duct tape. At the other, where his feet should be, was a five-gallon bucket filled with rock-hard concrete a mix of cement, sand, gravel and water encasing his legs up to the shins. The police said Mr. Martinez had a long history of arrests.
And I'm guessing the good Petey Crack also had a history, maybe not quite as long, of not paying the people he owed money to.
RIP Mr. Crack. May your duct taped head and concrete boots serve as a lesson to others. This, I suppose, was the intention.

Local news (NYC) stated that the cement had a lot of air bubbles in it. That is the reason he rose to the surface. Hew wasn’t missing that long. I think since last Thursday.
