A man who shot himself with a concrete nail gun after being stopped by a state trooper near Silverdale is out of the hospital and under arrest.

According to the State Patrol, 23-year-old Lance Earl Dillon of Bremerton planned to get his car out of an impound lot once he was released from Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

Instead, he was arrested Friday on old warrants and for investigation of impaired driving, hit-and-run and possession of methamphetamine. As of midday Tuesday he remained in jail with bail set at $20,000.

Dillon was hospitalized May 1 after shooting himself with a gun equipped with 6-inch nails. He had just been stopped by a trooper in a hit-and-run investigation on State Route 3. A washer kept the nail from hitting his heart.

1. I saw a guy nail gun his hand to a 2x4 a few years back

When he was being taken to the ER, they found that the board was too long to fit in the car, so they cut it on either side of his hand a chop saw to make it fit. It was that, or pry the nail out with a crowbar. I feel bad about this, but after the initial shock and watching this all unfold, I had a hard time to keep from laughing. He didn't seem to be in much pain. You had to be there I guess.
