MALVERN AR - A man under house arrest on rape and child exploitation charges sawed into his leg bone, then called for help, authorities said.
Jerry Scholes cut through his right calf and into the bone before he dialed 911 and paramedics took him to a hospital, where he remained Friday, police said.
He had been wearing an electronic monitor on that ankle, but prosecutor Richard Garrett said he believed the sawing was an attempt by Scholes to show he was incompetent for trial, not an effort to remove the monitor. Full Story - Country Home Magazine - Al Capone Cigars - Picaboo
