Man Removes Penis With Machete

Reported by Roxanne Lerma

JANUARY 7, 2004 - An unthinkable crime happened in the city of Alton. Officers say a man was in a rage and cut off part of his penis. He then walked over a mile for help.

Virgilio Maldonado found the body part.

He says as soon as he set foot on his job site, off of 6 Mile Line and Conway, he spotted a long trail of blood leading inside.

"It was a shock when we found the bloody machete and the man's penis next to it on a bag of concrete."

At first Maldonado couldn't or didn't want to believe what he had found.

"I thought maybe it was people hunting and that it was part of a rabbit. Then my son saw it and said no...that it was part of a man," he said.

Around the same time, Oscar Hernandez stumbled into the Alton Police Department pleading for help. Paramedics rushed him to the hospital bleeding heavily from his groin.

It wasn't until a half hour later that officers realized that Hernandez had cut himself - when doctors contacted them saying they were in dire need of the missing piece.

They launched a search, but luckily, Maldonado was already flagging down a patrolman to report the bizarre find.

"We told the police what we had discovered and he placed it in a bag with some ice."

A day later, Maldonado says he still can't believe Hernandez survived after severing his genitals.

"I thought maybe this was a jealous rage or a wife upset. I never thought that a man could do this to himself at least not one in his right mind."

Police now say Hernandez was not in his right mind. They claim he is mentally unstable and may have been off of his medication at the time.

He is now in stable condition at a McAllen hospital. Doctors were successfully able to re-attach the organ.
