Father Bites Off Son's Thumb

PHOENIX (AP) - A man who told police he bit off his 2-year-old son's thumb, and apparently held it in his mouth for about six hours, was arrested for child abuse and aggravated assault, authorities said Sunday.

Police responding to a 911 call Saturday night found Raymond Jones running on a street naked, said police Sgt. Bill Knight.

Jones, 39, told detectives he had taken several hits of the hallucinogen PCP and had swallowed his son's thumb because he wanted to mix their DNA, Knight said.

However, Jones apparently had the thumb in his mouth rather than swallowing it, and coughed it out while he was being interviewed by police.

The child was found alone, several blocks away at the entrance of the trailer park where they lived.

Doctors were not able to reattach the thumb.

Let's legalize the stuff so we can have more of this kind of creative thought processes.

Actually, I was thinking about cutting off a DIFFERENT body part so he can't make any more babies to which he can do irreparable harm! God Bless that poor little baby!

I wonder where the mother was and why it took him running naked to get a call to 911.
