Indiana man cuts off own penis, then uses the severed member to start a fire in neighbor’s garage

A man from Indiana has been accused of starting a fire in his neighbor’s garage by using his own severed penis as kindling for the flames. You read that right, Christopher Peden allegedly cut off his own private parts before dousing his member in gasoline and using it to set a fire on his neighbor’s property.

Peden, 36, a resident of Fort Wayne initially told cops that he had been stabbed somewhere in the city’s downtown area according to court documents. Sky News reports that Peden didn’t stick with that story for long, as he admitted to officers that he didn’t want to be “dishonest” and instead “wanted to be truthful.”
