Small Town Misfit

Chattanooga, TN
Police said a Forest Highland Circle man called and said his private part had just been amputated “by an unknown person.”

Responding officers said they found Erik Matthew Berkes walking a few blocks from his home.

They said he was bleeding from his genital area. He was conscious, but not able to respond.

He was taken by ambulance to Erlanger Medical Center.

At his residence, police found the door wide open. The “crime scene” was found to be the bathroom. Officers found bloody towels and rags in the bathtub.

Police said four of the victim’s five roommates were asleep “and unaware of what had happened.”

The other roommate had gone to work earlier.

Police were going to try to interview the victim to try to get more information.
