Charles Ransier had an abnormal history with vegetables, according to authorities. A Comal County jury sentenced the 56-year-old New Braunfels man to life in prison Wednesday on charges of drug possession and tampering with evidence after a Texas state trooper found him sitting in his truck with melted candle wax on his bare chest and a collection of meth-filled syringes, male enhancement pills, lube, children's clothing and a cooler of frozen cucumbers with him.

On Nov. 10, 2012, a Comal County deputy found him naked inside his truck. Ransier admitted to the deputy he had been engaged in a "deviant sex act involving a squash," according to the district attorney's office. RELATED: BCSO: Inmate attempted escape by climbing into jail ceiling On March 9, 2014, a "concerned citizen" notified a state trooper of a suspicious pickup truck at the nearby baseball fields. The trooper found Ransier engaging in a deviant sex act with a vegetable "wearing nothing but women's stockings." State prosecutors disclosed such incidents to the jury, as well as other evidence from court records of Ransier's nine previous felony convictions. One such conviction involved the death of a reserve sergeant with the Arizona State Troopers and father of twins. Ransier was found to be high on meth when he crashed into the trooper and killed him. The jury took less than an hour to sentence Ransier to life in prison on the charge of tampering with evidence connected to the March 23, 2015, incident. He was also sentenced to 20 years in prison on the meth possession charge and fined $10,000.
