HOWELL COUNTY, Mo. (KY3) - The Howell County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a somewhat unique incident that happened in early November.

According to Lieutenant Torey Thompson with the Howell County Sheriff’s Office, on November 8 near Willow Springs, first responders got a call about a man with a double amputation. When deputies arrived, they found a tractor with a brush hog mower and a man in his 60s with his feet amputated.

Lt. Thompson says after a little more investigating, deputies ruled that it was a “staged accident” and the brush hog was not part of the amputation. Investigators did recover both feet at the scene.

Investigators say this appears to be intentional, and more information will revealed soon.

Now that things are afoot, that man should have planned this better. Cops saw right through it.

Willow Springs is in the meth belt of Missouri. I'm guessing meth was involved.

Vernon is a city in Washington County, Florida. The population was 687 at the 2010 census; according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2018 estimates, the city had a population of 690.

Vernon is named for George Washington's Virginia home, Mount Vernon. The pioneer town was the site of a major Indian settlement. Vernon held the county seat until 1927 when the seat was moved to Chipley.

Vernon became known as "nub city" in the 1950s and 1960s for a high number of limb loss insurance claims made in the area. Vernon was featured in Errol Morris' 1981 documentary film Vernon, Florida.
…
The town gained infamy in the late 1950s and early 1960s due to the improbably high percentage of residents who put out insurance claims on lost limbs, to the point that many speculated that residents of the town were intentionally dismembering themselves for the insurance money. Although there is no real evidence to support these speculations, these insurance claims from Vernon, with a population of 500–800, accounted for as many as 2/3 of claims nationally.[4]

I wonder if he had been arboring criminals?

Reminds me of a little league coach I had that lost both arms in a pothole digger / auger incident.

Our defensive fielding wasn’t great that year. But we embraced it (well not literally).

Sounds like you're putting your foot down and ending the speculation.

That guy doesn't have a leg to stand on, legally.
