Drugs are bad, mmmkay? "Columbus man rips off his penis while high on drugs"

Columbus Dispatch:
Police say a 41-year-old Columbus man is recovering after he ripped off part of his penis while high on drugs in Michigan last week, the Detroit Free Press reports.

The newspaper reported that Washtenaw County Sheriff�s deputies found the man naked and screaming after responding to a burglar alarm at Ypsilanti Middle School in Ypsilanti Township at about 1 a.m. last Tuesday.

The man was kneeling outside the school, bloody from the waist down, with parts of his genitals ripped off, Sgt. Geoff Fox told reporter Tammy Stables Battaglia on Monday. Fox said parts of the man�s body were transferred to the hospital with him.

Officers subdued the man for his own safety and called for an ambulance.

�He really wasn�t saying much at all -- a lot of yelling and screaming,� Fox told the Free Press, adding the man had broken a window to the school but didn�t take anything. �He wasn�t making sense. They couldn�t really communicate with him in terms of constructive conversation.�

The man later told investigators he picked up hallucinogenic mushrooms earlier in the day while he was in town visiting friends in a neighborhood near the school. The man does not have a history of mental problems or extensive drug use, Fox said.

�We�ve sent his blood off for further analysis to see if there was anything else, if the mushrooms could have been laced with something,� Fox said, adding that toxicology results are pending.

Authorities told the newspaper that the man remains hospitalized and had been close to death.

�In terms of vital signs, they were as low as they could go without being dead, I could only assume due to the blood loss and the shock and trauma to the body,� Fox said.
