A young man, Tyson Gilbert, 39, in Tennessee, USA, reportedly cut off his penis and threw it out through the window of his car to the police during a chase.
Tyson Gilbert who drives a Honda Accord tried to scare the cops while fleeing from them.
The chase began when police found him parked partially in the way of traffic on Highway 70 near the town of Dowelltown. Speaking to radio station WLJE, Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) Trooper Bobby Johnson said that the man took off when officers initially tried to signal him with their lights.
He was first approached by highway patrolman Bobby Johnson, who spotted the suspect’s Honda Accord parked partially in the way of traffic on Highway 70 near Dowelltown.
“When I pulled up behind him and turned my lights on he took off and refused to stop,” Johnson told local radio station WLJE.
During the ensuing chase, Gilbert somehow managed to sever and discard his own penis.
At one point he turned onto a side road and briefly opened his car door to give pursuing officers a glimpse of his painful handiwork.
“He turned off on Old Liberty Road and came to a stop. He opened his door. He was naked and covered in blood. He then shut his door and kept driving,” Johnson said.
Police laid down spikes further along the road in an effort to stop their now memberless man.
“The first spike strips got one of his front tires and the second got the other tire. After that it became a slow speed pursuit with him running on his rims until we boxed him in,” Trooper Johnson said.
Gilbert’s rap sheet includes charges in 2020 for attempted car theft and resisting arrest.
He was arrested and jailed on $61,000 bond after trying to steal four cars from a car rental company in Cookeville.
It is not clear when he was released.
The investigation into his latest and goriest brush with the law is still ongoing, police said.
