43-year-old Donald Anthony Watson was admitted to the Avera McKennan emergency room on Sunday Sept. 6th for a gunshot wound to his penis.

Turns out he lied about who popped a cap in his manhood. When questioned by police Watson allegedly said he was shot by a black guy who tried to rob him while he was taking out the trash at his apartment.

Sioux Falls police went to Watson’s apartment on East Nye Street to look for evidence and witnesses to the events.

One witness told officers he heard screams of pain coming from Watson’s apartment about 1 a.m.

A search warrant was served on Watson’s house and officers found what appeared to be bullet fragments on Watson’s bed. An empty gun case was found but officers were not able to locate a firearm.

Before Watson entered surgery he was asked again how he was shot. This time he told the police that he shot himself while looking at a gun he was trying to buy.

Two days after the surgery Watson elaborated on the story to he was looking at a gun, stuck it in his pocket and the gun discharged striking him in the junk.

He refused to tell officers who was selling the gun and where the gun is now.

Watson is a convicted felon who can't have guns so he was arrested on charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon among other things. Ouch.
