Son Stabs Mother And Cuts Off Own Penis While Under Influence Of Drug "Meow Meow"

By Leslie Simon, Mar. 3, 2015, Crimefeed.com

Charlie Mann was allegedly under the influence of mephedrone, also known as“meow meow,” when he stabbed his mother 11 times and cut off his own willie with a pair of scissors.

The attack happened in December 2013 and ended with a naked Mann—“delusional” and unaware of his self-inflicted injuries—being escorted from his family home.

On Monday, the suspect appeared in court and admitted to taking the drug, attacking his mother and wanting to be punished for his deeds.

According to prosecutor Amy Packham, the drug caused Mann to experience mania, delusions and, ultimately, psychosis. Because he took meow meow voluntarily, he can’t use the insanity defense.

Immediately following the attack, Mann was in the hospital for eight months getting psychiatric help and medical treatment for his injuries, including the reattachment of his penis.

Mann has been behind bars, awaiting trial, since August.

Report: New Rob Ford Crack Tape Surfaces --Oh, nobody saw THAT coming

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford

Pressure is mounting for Toronto Mayor Rob Ford to step down after a new video surfaced showing him with what may be crack cocaine.

Ford announced Wednesday that he will take a leave of absence and seek treatment for alcohol problems. Despite widespread criticism, he is running for re-election in October.

The Globe and Mail newspaper said it viewed a video from a self-professed drug dealer showing Ford taking a drag from a pipe early Saturday in his sister's basement.

News reports of an earlier video of Ford smoking crack first surfaced last May.

City Council member Gloria Lindsay Luby said she wants Ford to step down immediately. "Just a matter of days is not enough to get over any severe addiction," she said.

"When I travel and people ask where I am from, I don't want to say I am from Toronto," said Luby, who has been on the council since 1985. "It's embarrassing. It never stops. He is a dinosaur and the way he looks at women is disgusting."

The Toronto Sun said Wednesday that it had obtained an audio recording of Ford at a bar making lewd remarks about council member Karen Stintz, who is also running for mayor, and about his wife.

"Rob Ford's comments are disgusting," Stintz wrote on her website. "Rob Ford is not Toronto. Toronto is tired of City Hall being gripped by this sad mess."

Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly will fill in for Ford, taking over his limited role as mayor. The city council suspended some of the mayor's duties and powers for the rest of his term when he refused to resign after a string of incidents in 2013, from public drunkenness to an appearance in another video that showed him threatening "murder" in an incoherent rant.

In a statement late Wednesday,Ford said: "I have a problem with alcohol and the choices I have made while under the influence. I have struggled with this for some time."
