Man accused of cutting off his genitals, using them to start a fire, authorities say
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - A 36-year-old Fort Wayne man is facing a felony charge after he allegedly cut off his genitals and used it while committing arson.
Christopher Peden is charged with one count of arson, which carries a potential prison sentence of up to 12 years.
The Fort Wayne Fire Department was dispatched to a garage fire in May, just as Fort Wayne Police Department officers were dispatched to reports of a stabbing, according to court records obtained by 21Investigates.
Peden told police he was stabbed somewhere downtown and that someone had threatened him the day before.
While at the hospital, Peden told an officer he was dishonest at the stabbing scene and wanted to be truthful, court documents say. He said that at about 2 a.m., he went into the garage and used a kitchen knife to cut off his genitals.
Peden said he then poured gasoline on the dismembered organ and set it on fire, leaving the garage and walking away until he found police.
At the scene of the fire, a fire investigator located a gasoline container and four lighters, as well as a nearby kitchen knife. Court records do not detail whether the genitals were located.
Peden is due back in court next week to set dates for a trial.
