Father bites son's thumb OFF
 

This happened over the weekend here in Phoenix....

A Maricopa County man was taken to a hospital Saturday night to have his stomach pumped after telling police he bit off and swallowed the thumb of his 2-year-old son.


According to investigators, Raymond Jones, 39, was on the phone while at home with his wife and four children in the12700 block of West Glendale Avenue. After handing the phone to his wife, Jones picked up his son Robert and walked out of the home. The Sheriff's Office received calls at about 8:20 p.m. about a man walking naked along Glendale Avenue. Deputies arrived to find Jones nude on the street and his son naked and missing a thumb.

"When we put the dad in custody and start talking to him, he tells us that he bit his son's thumb and swallowed it," Sgt. Bill Knight said.

Robert was immediately taken to Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center Hospital. Deputies took Jones to the hospital so doctors could pump his stomach to possibly find the thumb and reattach it.

Knight said that if Jones would not comply, county officials would seek a search warrant for bodily evidence, including the thumb and any signs of substance abuse.

That crazy avenues side of town, I swear...

Okay, so what led up to this??? There's no story about WHY he did it?

:Oh crap weirdos...

I often spend my Saturday nights walking around naked..... But I don't bite people's fingers off...... I think I read a follow up in the paper this morning saying he was on PCP... Sounds like fun stuff.

I would have forced him to comply, whether he wanted to or not. I believe that you lose some of your "rights" once you commit some crimes, this would have been one of those cases.

What's wrong with the guy? He's obviously not sane.

He lives in the Arizona desert with about 120 degrees of sun pounding on the top of his head. :feels-hot

He lives on that crazy avenues side of town, didn't you read my post?

It;s alrighy.....I stillll havve 9 fingrs left....

Roc!

Is this a lightspeed plug for a new niche you are about to launch? If so, you guys are twisted! But, I guesss the warm weather does eerie things to you desert folk!

No way dude.... This is not something we're going to get into! It's just horrible! Lock this fucker up and throw away the key!

Here's a picture of him in a follow up article!

Kimmy tried to my .. um... thumb off.

so much for my plans to move in next door to KimmyKim. u phoenix people are too weird for me.

(altho, if KK starts walking around naked outside, i'm willing to overlook the weirdos)

:thumbsup

You'll notice shit like this never happens in los Angeles.

"Neighbors complained that Raymond Frank Jones, 39, was acting crazy and arguing with another man, a sheriff's spokesman said. Neighbors told 12 News that Jones was kicking a puddle of water and screaming that it was "kids' blood."

Anybody ever heard of the Wayne Lee Ray report? ;)

And I thought everybody walked around naked in their back yard, just not down the street...

Well what's wrong with that? I can't count the times I mistook a puddle of water for kids' blood...could happen to anyone....maybe it was the fact he was kicking at the puddle? That's kind of crazy I guess......
