An Indiana man has been charged with felony arson after police alleged he severed his own genitals and used them to start a fire inside his mother's detached garage, according to court records.
Christopher Michael Peden, 36, of Fort Wayne, is accused of pouring petrol over the severed body part before setting it alight during the incident on 6 May. Investigators allege he then left the garage and was later found nearby with serious self-inflicted injuries.
