Georgia Man's Pants Explode

According to newspaper reports, three Walker County, Georgia social workers were visiting Daniel Gabriel Doyle. As he sat in their car filling out paperwork, his pants exploded.

"He kept fiddling with his front right pants pocket," Patrick Stanfield, commander of the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit Drug Task Force, told the Walker County Messenger. "All of a sudden, a loud bang happened, and fire shot from his pocket. It damaged the inside of the state vehicle and burned clothing on the case workers."

Apparently, Doyle had combined red phosphorus and iodine, two chemicals used to make methamphetamine, in a film canister. He then stuck the canister in his pocket when the social workers showed up.

The case workers were treated for minor injuries in LaFayette. Doyle was taken to Erlanger Medical Center in nearby Chattanooga, Tenn., with second- and third-degree burns to his testicles and leg.

Moral of this story: Crime doesn't pay. Apparently it burns balls - -but it doesn't pay.
