Self-Castrated, I Think...

BOSSIER CITY, La. - A man who apparently castrated himself will be charged with filing a false police report after giving officials three different versions of the event, Bossier City police said.

Ronald Elmore was dropped off at the Bossier Medical Center emergency room early on Monday by an unidentified woman after both his testicles had been cutoff, police said.

He first told officers an unknown woman he picked up in a bar castrated him while he was sleeping and he did not realise it until he woke up, police said. Then he said he and his wife had been taking drugs and when he was unable to perform sexually, he told her to castrate him, which she did, police said.

They quoted him as saying they had put his testicles down a garbage disposal. The third time Elmore was interviewed, police said, he told them he hadcastrated himself and put his testicles in a freezer, where police found them. A spokesman for the hospital said Elmore had asked that no information about him or his medical condition be released. Earlier he was reported in stable condition after surgery.
