FORT SMITH, Ark. - Police say a man who broke into a car severed his left wrist on some shards of glass, then kicked in a door to the car owner's home and asked for help.

Avis Pilcher, 78, called police to aid Joseph G. McQuade, 29, of Huntington, who initially said he had cut himself while being chased. Police later discovered blood in Pilcher's garage, presumed McQuade cut himself while breaking into the woman's car, and arrested McQuade.

Pilcher said she awakened to screams for help about 12:35 a.m. Monday and that McQuade entered her room, blood shooting from his left wrist, a police report said.

McQuade was arrested on suspicion of burglary, breaking and entering a vehicle, breaking and entering an unoccupied structure and on other warrants. McQuade was taken to the hospital for treatment of his injuries.

I guess that shows that you have to be somewhat intelligent to be a good criminal. Didn't he ever hear the saying of not returning to the scene of the crime. He should have ran a little bit farther to get help. Oh well, that's one more moron off the streets.

Quote:

v. sev·ered, sev·er·ing, sev·ers
v. tr.

1. To set or keep apart; divide or separate.
2. To cut off (a part) from a whole.
3. To break up (a relationship, for example); dissolve. See Synonyms at separate.

v. intr.

1. To become cut or broken apart.
2. To become separated or divided from each other.

I think they misused the word "sever". If he severed his wrist, that would have been a massive injury to his wrist.

Yeah, when they said 'sever' I was thinking "holy shit, how did he cut his hand off on glass?"

But otherwise, an interesting story.

You can't safely make that assumption until he does something to put himself in the running for a Darwin award.
