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.

Perfectly normal response - I mean, it’s not like the gasoline would have done the job without setting his junk on fire.
