Police: Man's Testicles Locked In Padlock

Man Could Not Remove Lock For Two Weeks

BRENTWOOD, N.H. -- Emergency workers helped a New Hampshire man out of a difficult situation over the weekend after a friend apparently locked a padlock around his testicles.

According to the Portsmouth Herald, police reported that the 39-year-old man was intoxicated when they arrived at the scene on July 30 at about 3:40 a.m. The man, who was not identified, told them that he had the padlock around his testicles for two weeks.

The man said that a friend put the lock on while he was drunk and passed out. When he woke up, the friend was gone.

"Never in my 13 years have I seen anything like this," Cpl. H.D. Wood told the Herald.

The man told police that he tried to remove the lock with a hacksaw because the key had broken off in the lock.

He was taken to Exeter Hospital, where a locksmith removed the padlock. He was treated and released, and the hospital said he had no lasting injury.

Police said that they did not know the motive for the incident.

Wait a minute. The dude was intoxicated when police arriced on the scene, implying that this happened while the "friends" were drinking. But then the next line says the dude told them that the padlock was on for 2 weeks? Either that's one long drunken stupor or the article just isn't very well written. I prefer the latter.

Oh, and police don't know the motive? They were DRUNK! That's the motive. You don't need anything more to explain it than that.

um, he was drunk and passed out, i'm sure it seemed like the thing to do at the time. what more reason did his friends need?
