MODESTO - (CBS13/AP) ― Modesto police say a local man who tried to cut off his own arm at a Denny's restaurant thought he had injected air into one of his veins while shooting cocaine and would die unless he took drastic action.

The man, identified by police as Michael Lasiter, 33, rushed into the restaurant on Friday night and start More..ed stabbing himself in the right arm with a butter knife he grabbed from a customer's table, police say. When that knife didn't work, Lasiter allegedly took a butcher knife from the kitchen and dug it into his arm.

Lasiter, who was subdued with a taser and taken to a local hospital with severe cuts, told officers he thought he needed to amputate his arm to keep himself from dying from the cocaine injection, says Modesto police Sgt. Brian Findlen.

The Denny's closed for the night after the incident.

Uncontrollable laughter is the only form of sympathy I can give to a person like this. I like how he runs by the ambulance in the parking lot and heads straight for the silverware. This guy knows how to get things done.

"...Kitchen knife about eight inches long..."

poor fellow

im sure he was beyond talking things out at this point and refused to listen to the police. Id say this is a pretty standard example of when it is ok to use a tazer. Let's be honest, this guy doesnt strike me as a part-time surgeon. He probably would have died.

[CptStern]

I dont understand why the cops tazed him, he was in the process of disarming himself ...

 

[Raziaar]

Bad, bad Stern!

I'm sure we won't see too many people up in arms about the use of a taser in this incident.

you can dissolve hydrochloride salt into water and inject it. There's almost no limit to the ways you can ingest coke and experience it's full effects...not that I do cocaine.

It's even possible to take it anally.

 

[Omnomnick]

Lolz.

Nuff said.

I guess you learn something new everyday.

 

[highlander]

[Seppo]

this guy might have needed a helping hand.

i wonder if the knife was handmade?

i bet he was handed some kind of a penalty for this.

i'm sure the police handled him well.

 

[Mech Man]

I guess he will never get into the army now.

/generic joke.

This requires some appreciation of wit cmon!? I loved it!

You too veggies. I would add other comments but you guys win already

I laughed at that for awhile.

I cant tell if you were trying to be stupid or are.

You have a person, high on concaine who is unaware of his actions holding a butter knife. As much as a how blunt a butter knife is, it can kill. If you were to approach him, hed go nuts thinking you're trying to harm him. Hes high. Hed probably lunge at you and tell you to back off. This was a good time to use the taser.

 

[VirusType2]

It's a pun Azner. Disarming himself. You get it? Removing his arm?

I cant tell if you were trying to be stupid or are.

Now eat your words. That's all you will be having for dinner tonight.

 

[Azner]

At first i wanted to post
"I cant tell if you were joking or not"
Because i didnt get half the pun nor did i find the other half funny.

But you know, im all out against stern so..
