YIKES! Indiana Man Arrested After Allegedly Cutting Off His Penis & Setting It On Fire, Causing Garage To Go Up In Flames

What do y’all have going on in Indiana?

A man named Christopher Peden is accused of entering a detached garage in Fort Wayne, #Indiana, and cutting off his manhood. And the wild story only gets wilder from there — Peden allegedly placed the severed organ on the floor, poured gasoline on it, and set it on fire. The incident happened on May 6, with police and firefighters initially responding to reports of a stabbing at the garage.

Investigators say a neighbor spotted the growing blaze and alerted the property owners, who then realized Peden — a relative — was missing. Officers later encountered Peden while responding to the scene, and he allegedly claimed he had been stabbed and threatened the day before by someone downtown. However, after being taken to the hospital, authorities say he admitted the story was false and confessed to harming himself. He was later charged with felony arson and booked into the Allen County Jail on a $10,000 bond, though a jail rep told TMZ he is no longer in custody. His attorney informed the outlet that Peden is in stable condition and that his mental state at the time is now under review.
