QuoteA man who cut off his forearm to free himself after becoming trapped by a dislodged boulder in a Utah canyon is in jail after being arrested in Denver over allegations of domestic violence.

Aron Ralston was booked Sunday on charges of assault and "wrongs to minors," which involves exposing a minor to danger. Court records show a woman, Vita Shannon, also was arrested at the same home on the same charges.

Messages left with prosecutors and Ralston's publisher, Simon & Schuster, weren't returned.

Ralston was hiking in 2003 when he became trapped and cut off his arm to free himself. He detailed his struggles in a book, which was adapted into the movie "127 Hours."

Booking documents don't indicate if Ralston or Shannon has an attorney. Both are scheduled to appear in court Monday.

It was an unarmed assault.

Police are stumped.

Ralston went out on a limb.

Neighbours said the defendant was 'armless.

Etc.

Who cares.

He was underhanded, had a disarming personality, couldn't find his ass with both hands and a roadmap, "the one-armed man did it," yadda, yadda.

I wonder if there's a prosthetic out there for arm amputees where you could install a Hitachi wand and some other...attachments...to it.

Now that would be cool.

I didn't intend it as any great piece of news. Just found it interesting the difference between positive bub and sympathy around the guy and now this.

I know. Rather one sided story.
