Back to bizarre moments, here is the beginning of the headline story from the Youngstown (OH) Vindicator, March 14, 2001: "Authorities said they do not believe Tammy Felbaum intended to kill her husband when she castrated him last month at the couple's home in Harrisville.(PA)
Pennsylvania State Police here said the 40-year-old James John Felbaum initiated the castration on himself and then asked his wife to help him finish what authorities have called 'a very crude operation.'"
Things got stranger after that, it apparently turns out that Tammy had a sex-change operation a few years back, she had been married five times, and "Police said they believe Tammy Felbaum has been involved in taxidermy. However, they have no indication she is a licensed taxidermist and believe she has no medical training."
And people say the Midwest is dull.
