Different Kind of Cut-Off: Man Leading Police Chase Severed His Penis


A southern man was arrested recently after slicing someone’s genitals — his own.

Perhaps it was a case of too much Tennessee Whiskey, but 39-year-old Tyson Gilbert of Cookeville made a very bold choice.

On the morning of August 26th, he led law enforcement on a two-county pedal-to-the-metal parade.

As reported by Smithville’s WJLE, State Trooper Bobby Johnson spotted Tyson’s car in a roadway illegally parked.

Hence, he pulled up behind and turned on his lights.

The Honda Accord took off and, in the officer’s words, “refused to stop.”

Tearin’ up Highway 70, Tyson raced from Dowelltown to Lebanon.

According to Bobby, the on-the-lam outlaw was “all over the road the whole time.”

In light of the maniacal motoring, Alexandria Police plotted an impediment — a strip of spikes was set.

Though one of Tyson’s tires got torn, he continued westbound into Wilson County.

Tennessee Highway Patrol laid a second set of spikes, taking another tire.

Just past Watertown, Wilson County Sheriff’s Department attempted a spiking but missed.

Still, the Accord was eventually ruined and running on rims.

The chase — also involving officers from Nashville, DeKalb County, Watertown, and Cookeville — had come to an end.

Authorities boxed in the out-of-control automobile.

“He turned off on Old Liberty Road and came to a stop. He opened his door. He was naked and covered in blood. He then shut his door and kept driving. [T]yson…had severed his own penis and tossed it out the car window somewhere along the route either before or during the chase."

It’s unclear how he thought it might have helped.

Perhaps he felt the vehicle was sluggish, and he needed to cut weight.

Or maybe he was already crafting an insanity plea.

Either way, it was an extraordinary feat — especially if the Honda is a stick shift.

"Manse"?
Why do they shout about a clergy house inhabited by, or formerly inhabited by, a minister?
 
So some people were cheap and only cryo-froze their brains, hoping that if they were ever revived, they could just up and use someone else's body?:rofl:
Oh but Alcor (?), the American version, also does both whole body and head only cryogenics. The second option is cheaper of course. I think the idea is that in the future they will be able to grow new bodies.
 
Spoiler alert I guess but maybe not.
Didn't one of the X-files films have a plot in which some bloke was keeping himself alive by having his head transplanted onto kidnapped peoples bodies?
Or am I getting confused with something else?

Scouse F1 fan gets nabbed by Dutch peelers for being Sicilian crime boss!

Via BBC News:

A Formula 1 fan from Liverpool was arrested at gunpoint in the Netherlands after being mistaken for a mafia boss.
Police believed the 54-year-old, known as Mark L, was Sicilian crime lord Matteo Messina Denaro and he was blindfolded and led away by officers in The Hague on Wednesday.
Prosecutors said the man, who was in the country to watch the Dutch Grand Prix on 5 September, was later freed.
Denaro, 59, is wanted over bombings in 1993 which killed 10 and injured 93.
Mark L had been eating at a restaurant with his son when police burst in, carrying a European Arrest Warrant issued by the Italian authorities.
His lawyer Leon van Kleef said it was "like a bad movie, a nightmare that my client has found himself in".

He continued: "Imagine one moment you are having a bite to eat and the next you are sat in a maximum-security Dutch prison."
He said his client "had anger and disbelief and laughter because it is ludicrous".
"He is a normal Formula One fan. I was always convinced he was not it. It would have been a genius of an Italian to have such a strong Liverpool accent."

Eh, calm down!
