Armless Florida Artist Accused of Stabbing Chicago Man With Scissors Using Feet
NBC Chicago ^ | Jul 11, 2018

Posted on 07/19/2018 12:12:37 PM PDT by Gamecock

A homeless Florida artist was charged Tuesday with using his feet to stab a Chicago man with a pair of scisorrs, authorities said.

Jonathan Dale Crenshaw, 46, was arrested Tuesday in the 200 block of Lincoln Road. He was charged with aggravated battery.

According to a friend of the victim, the man was asking Crenshaw for directions in South Beach when Crenshaw suddenly stabbed him in the arm and fled on foot, the police report said.

Cesar Coronado, who is visiting from Chicago, said his vacation began with a trip to the hospital.

"I'm not from here and this is not what I came for. I came for a vacation," Coronado told NBC 6 Wednesday. "I just said 'do you know where this is?' but as soon as I talked, the only thing he reacted was he just cut me."

Officers responded to the scene and found Crenshaw nearby. Crenshaw said he was lying down when a man came up and punched him in the head, so he pulled the scissors out of a suitcase with his feet and stabbed the man twice to defend himself, the report said.

"Why would I go and attack someone else? No, no, I wouldn't do that," Coronado said. "It’s like how the hell did I get stabbed? Like, is it the right guy at that point? Because I cant believe with his legs someone could do that."

Crenshaw said he put the scissors in his waistband and walked off quickly, the report said. He was booked into jail where he remained held on $7,500 bond Wednesday, records showed. Attorney information wasn't available.

Crenshaw was profiled in 2011 by the Miami New Times, which showed him using his feet to draw and paint.

One guy my grandfather knew got called up for service way, way back.

He got almost through the whole routine and about to swear him in when he showed the in-charge types his wooden leg.

Well, this fits in with Florida crazy, but as the victim was from. Chicago he might have had it coming.

Today we went to White Lake for swimming and picnicking. While we were sitting on our blanket and our daughter was giving her toy poodle puppy snacks, a loose dog missing it’s front right leg suddenly appeared and ate a snack from her hand.

Then the owner came and asked if he took a snack and I said;Yes that’s alright.

But then some minutes later he came back and got a second one. We laughed. I said : sucker moves fast for three legs!

He would have missed had the knife been a foot further away.

Reminds me of Houdini. He could do things with his feet that would amaze you.

If I got stabbed by a guy using his feet, I'd be too embarrassed to tell the cops.

I'd just go rub some dirt on it and hope nobody found out.

From the knee UP????????????????

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. My great-grandmother had a glass eye and my great-grandfather has a crystal ball. It's true, I tell 'ya.

There was a well known bum in Baltimore who had a choice street corner to beg at. He had prosthetic arms and legs. I read about him in the paper and how he was in the hospital due to a heroin addiction. No arms or legs and yet able to inject a drug? Hmmmm
