Police: Drunken man drives home after passenger decapitated; headless body left in truck
By Associated Press, 8/30/2004 10:47


MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) A drunken driver hit a telephone pole support wire that decapitated his passenger, then drove 12 miles home and slept in his bloody clothes, leaving the headless body in his truck, police said.

A neighbor walking with his young daughter Sunday morning discovered Daniel Brohm's headless corpse in the truck in John Kemper Hutcherson's driveway and called authorities, said Cpl. Dana Pierce, county police spokesman.

Officers found Hutcherson asleep inside his home. He was visibly drunk and his clothes were bloody, authorities said. They later found Brohm's severed head at the crash site.

''It's hard for one to imagine that you would drive miles from a crash site to your home, turning in various directions, and yet not know what has happened to a passenger sitting next to you,'' Pierce said.

Hutcherson, 21, was charged with vehicular homicide, driving under the influence and failure to stop at an accident with death or injury. He was jailed on a $100,000 bond; it was unclear Monday whether he had an attorney.

Police said Hutcherson and Brohm friends since high school were drinking at a bar Saturday night and left after Brohm said he felt sick.

Brohm, 23, apparently was leaning out of the window when Hutcherson hit the support wire about a mile and a half from the bar.

Even though they were both drunk his friend showed alot of drive, grit and determination in attempting to get them both home in one piece. Unfortunately driving drunk is not how you get ahead in life.

That's some freakish 'Final Destination'-type $#%& I tell you

Oh and ProTip: Don't stick your head out the window of a car driven by a drunk

 

[Error Macro]

Just because you're driving drunk and hit a telephone pole support wire, it's not something to lose your head over.

I guess he'll never be the head of a major corporation.

 

[demon]

Didn't he see the "Stop A Head" sign?

 

[Willco]

I think the prosecution will see that heads will roll over this one.

HEAD
of himself

Police said Hutcherson and Brohm friends since high school were drinking at a bar Saturday night and left after Brohm said he felt sick.

Brohm said "this ugly chick wanted to give me head, so I felt really sick. There was no way I was letting a fat, ugly bitch give me head. No way!"

He's already head and shoulders above his competition.

There's a lot of milking of some really bad jokes in this thread.

 

[Matlock]

I guess that dude won't be getting head tonight. Or any night, really.

 

[ManDudeChild]

I don't think the passenger was very headstrong.

 

[Grey Fox]

This is pretty funny in a morbid kind of way.I wonder what happened when he got home?"You wanna spend the night man?"no response"oh it looks like hes already asleep,Ill leave him be."

Everybody liked the guy but, they knew he wouldn't go far because his head was always in the air.
