A man in Utah allegedly hammered an ice pick-like tool through the penis of a man who lived with him.
Jason Dee Maughn, 45, was arrested on Monday (November 3) after holding his unnamed housemate at gunpoint and telling him he “could either be taken to the desert and killed or Maughn would drive a nail into” his genitals, according to charging documents cited by The Deseret News.
“Maughn stated if the man fought, he would shoot him.”
The victim, who was allegedly handcuffed to the armrests of a chair while he had a shotgun aimed at him, “chose to have the nail” during the incident on August 30.
Alleged penis attack ‘was domestic violence’
The documents, which categorise the alleged attack as domestic violence, indicate that Maughn then placed a two-by-four under his housemate before driving “a tool resembling an ice pick” through him and into the plank of wood with a “rusty hammer.”
It adds that “Maughn stated if (the man) fought, he would shoot him.”
After the alleged attack in Salt Lake County, Maughn reportedly took off the victim’s handcuffs, allowed him to get a bandage for his penis, and then ordered him to leave. He went to hospital the next morning.
Police have said the dispute between the two men started because Maughn believed his housemate had assaulted a woman, which officers have not been able verify. The court documents did not clarify the exact nature of their relationship.
A $250,000 warrant for Maughn’s arrest was issued in September, when he was charged with aggravated sexual assault, aggravated kidnapping, mayhem and aggravated assault.
He was arrested on November 18 in Riverside, California, where he was believed to be staying at a relative’s house.
