Related: About this forumMan who shot himself in personal meat department can't stay out of trouble with the fuzz
Indiana Man trying to out do Florida ManIn the four months since Mark Anthony Jones shot himself in the genitals, the 47-year-old Indiana man has been arrested four separate times and is now behind bars awaiting trial on narcotics, weapons, and domestic battery counts.
In late-February, Jones suffered an accidental self-inflicted gunshot injury while walking on a street in Marion, a city in Grant County. Jones told police that he was carrying an unholstered Hi-Point 9mm handgun in his waistband when the weapon began to slip. When he reached down to adjust the firearm, Jones told police, the weapon discharged.
Jones, seen in the above mug shot, was subsequently arrested for carrying an unlicensed handgun, a misdemeanor.
Since shooting himself, Jones has also been arrested twice for driving with a suspended license, domestic battery, possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, and methamphetamine dealing. This mix of misdemeanor and felony charges has resulted in Jones being locked up in the county jail in lieu of $30,000 bond.

he has no one but himself to blame for his loss, I can see the attraction of drug usage.
Domestic battery cannot be excused, but if his wife kept badgering him over performance issues...
