Boy's Thumb Bitten Off By Father on PCPPHOENIX -- A man who told police he had bitten off his 2-year-old son's thumb and apparently held it in his mouth for about six hours was arrested for child abuse and aggravated assault, authorities said. Police responding to a 911 call Saturday night found Raymond Jones, 39, running on a street naked, police Sgt. Bill Knight said. Jones told detectives he had taken several hits of the hallucinogen PCP and had swallowed his son's thumb because he wanted to mix their DNA, Knight said. However, Jones apparently had the thumb in his mouth and coughed it out while he was being interviewed by police. The child was found alone, several blocks away, at the entrance of the trailer park where they lived. Doctors were not able to reattach the thumb.
