Police say a man tried to cut off his own arm at a restaurant in Modesto, California because he thought he had injected air into a vein while shooting cocaine and feared he would die unless he took drastic action.
Authorities say that 33-year-old Michael Lasiter rushed into the Denny's restaurant late Friday August 29th and started stabbing himself with a butter knife he grabbed from a table.
They say when that knife didn't do the trick, Lasiter took a butcher knife from the kitchen and dug into his arm.
Police Sarent Brian Findlen says Lasiter told officers he thought he needed to amputate his arm to keep himself from dying from the cocaine injection.
Lasiter was taken to a hospital for treatment of severe cuts and the Denny's closed for the night. No wonder.
Yet another reason not to do drugs kids!
You'll cut your arm off! You'll cut your arm off!
(Think 'A Christmas Story'...you'll shoot your eye out!)
