Man from Indiana Cuts off Penis and lights it on fire

An Indiana man known as Christopher Peden told police that he walked into a garage in Fort Wayne, Indiana and sliced of his penis with a kitchen knife and set it ablaze with lighters and gasoline.
According to his attorney, Peden then allegedly placed his severed penis on the floor, doused it with gasoline from a container and set it on fire using 4 lighters.

Police and firefighters responded to the May 6 incident after receiving a call for a stabbing at the detached garage belonging to the property owners, cops said.
The owners were awakened by a concerned neighbor, who saw the garage burning, and they suddenly realized Peden -- a family member -- had disappeared.

While responding to the scene, Fort Wayne officers bumped into Peden, who falsely claimed he had been stabbed by someone downtown and threatened the day before.

But, after he was rushed to the hospital, Peden allegedly told investigators that he lied and then confessed to mutilating himself.

He was taken to the Allen County Jail, where he posed for a mug shot with his bond set at $10,000. Prosecutors charged him with felony arson. A rep for the jail said he's no longer in custody.

Feltz said Peden is currently in stable condition as the lawyer gathers information to mount a defense. Feltz tells TMZ the allegations against his client are concerning, and he's now looking into Peden's mental state at the time of the alleged incident.
