What he did next is even worse, though: he tried to blame the self-inflicted accidental shooting on a “black guy,” according to the Argus Leader.Donald Anthony Watson, 43, a convicted felon, was rushed to the emergency room on Sept. 6 after the gunshot wound to his man-parts. He reportedly told police he’d been shot during a “botched robbery.”
Per the arrest report, Watson claimed he’d been injured by “a black guy (who) tried to rob” him while he was taking out the garbage at his home.
But officials who came to his apartment determined there was no evidence to indicate anything had happened outside, but they did find “blood, bullet fragments, and an empty gun case” inside his apartment.
When cops asked him what the heck was going on, Watson confessed to making the whole “black guy” story up, and explained that he’d shot himself when he put a handgun he was considering buying into his pocket, causing it to accidentally fire straight into his penis. Womp womp.
It’s unclear where the gun in question came from, or who was purportedly selling it to him. The weapon has reportedly since vanished.
In any case, Watson has been charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a firearm by a drug offender, and two counts of false reports to law enforcement.
