His face the epitome of mischief, a 19-year-old man sidles up to a hot dog stand. The proprietors, who are manning their humble stand, are oblivious to the danger of the criminal mastermind who stands before them.
The professorial hot dog lover, allegedly, one Terrion Pouncy, brandishes a firearm and demands that the helpless employees empty the cash register. Little did they know that their holdup’s epic denouement would culminate in the suspect inadvertently shooting his own penis.
The unfortunate event took place on Chicago’s South Side on Halloween 2017. After the crook snaffled the money, he rather carelessly holstered his weapon in his waistband. The gun discharged, jeopardizing the future of his manhood. The dim-witted thief attempted to hotfoot it out of there, his wound gushing blood as he fled. After a brief tussle with one of the hot dog vendors, he managed to escape.
Shortly after the robbery, an Illinois man phoned 911 and told them he had been shot. The Chicago police found an incapacitated Pouncy slumped in the doorway of a residential property. The youngster had gunshot wounds to his genitals and leg.
Connecting two and two, the Police Arrested Pouncy at the Oak Lawn Hospital on suspicion of armed robbery. Surveillance footage showed the perpetrator stooping over to snatch his loot, exposing his boxers in the process. The pattern of the boxers seen on CCTV was said to match the bloodstained boxers taken from Pouncy.
Freud would probably have something to say about a man who shoots his own penis while robbing a hot dog stand. But perhaps the young man’s self-inflicted sterilization was for the good of mankind.
A similar incident took place at a convenience store in Indiana. In 2008, Derrick Kosch almost neutered himself while trying to rob the Village Pantry store in Kokomo.
The gun-toting felon barged into the store, grabbed a worker’s hair, and demanded money and cigarettes. As the female clerk set to work, the man holstered the semiautomatic weapon in his waistband. In doing so, the 25-year-old local inadvertently pulled the trigger, discharging the gun and pumping his scrotum full of hot lead.
Although Kosch escaped, his concerned grandmother phoned 911 after learning of his injuries. He was taken to the hospital and subsequently charged. Kosch, perhaps a Darwin Award winner in the making, is certainly one to look out for.
