A man has been arrested after police found his severed finger at the scene of a crime in Maricopa, Arizona. Kevin Johnson is alleged to have slashed his neighbor's car tires after an argument, before fleeing the scene with a missing finger and leaving a trail of blood leading to his front door.
Francesca Wikoff told police she found the finger after discovering her vehicle had two slashed tires on one side, on the morning of April 15. She and her husband had argued with Johnson the night before, and the couple found a trail of blood leading to his house the following morning.
The Maricopa Police Department later confirmed that Johnson had been arrested and identified as the owner of the finger, according to police spokesperson Hal Koozer, who spoke to the Maricopa Monitor. He was charged with criminal damage, assault, threatening and intimidating behaviour, and disorderly conduct stemming from both the slashed tires and the previous night's disagreement, the publication reported.
"I don't find joy in anybody hurting themselves. However, karma has a good way of working itself out," Wikoff said.

(146,338 posts)Pissed off at them, he managed to cut off his finger while slashing their tires. Clever lad, that one.
And now he has been arrested, to boot. Probably he got some medical attention for his self-amputation, too.
