(RNN) - A Florida man accidentally shot himself in the penis while he was sitting in the driver’s seat of his Nissan Altima.
Shaneika Roberts, 25, told Jacksonville, FL, police that Cedrick Jelks, 38, ran into their home in a total panic and ran straight to the bathroom. She followed him and saw that he was shot in the penis.
She took him to the hospital, where he had surgery, police said.
He told Roberts that he sat on the gun and it went off. Police arrived at the hospital a little after 3 in the morning because of the gunshot wound, according to WJXT.
Jelks had a 2004 cocaine arrest, the police said. Because he is a convicted felon, he could face weapons charges for possessing a firearm.
