A 32-year-old Walton County man’s leg was severed just below the knee with a piece of shrapnel when he and his friends blew up a lawn mower in a rural location near his home on Saturday.

The men were using Tannerite to blow up the riding mower, according to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office. Tannerite is a combination of chemicals sold legally at most gun and sporting goods stores.

David Thomas Presley was airlifted to Grady Hospital in Atlanta, where his condition was unavailable Wednesday.

Deputies were called to the wooded location about 3:50 p.m. on Emmett Doster Road between Monroe and Bethlehem, according to the report.

One of the men at the site explained they put about three pounds of Tannerite inside the mower and Presley was shooting a gun at the Tannerite to ignite an explosion.

Maybe this is why that nutjob that post here carries a gun while cutting his grass.
