EAU CLAIRE, Wis. "” Attempts to duplicate a movie stunt landed one man in the hospital with burned ******** and another facing criminal charges.
The men were trying to do a stunt from one of the "Jackass'' movies, in which a character lights his ******** on fire.
Jared W. Anderson, 20, suffered serious burns to his hands and ********, according to the criminal complaint. Randell D. Peterson, 43, who sprayed lighter fluid on Anderson and lit him on fire, was charged with felony battery and first-degree reckless endangerment Tuesday in Eau Claire County Court.
Witnesses told police that Anderson, who was drunk, volunteered to do the stunt Sunday after watching the movie, the complaint said.
After Peterson ignited Anderson, he ran into the bathroom, jumped into the tub and put the flames out, according to the complaint. He was taken to Luther Hospital, and eventually treated at the Regions Hospital Burn Unit in St. Paul, Minn., for second-degree burns.
Anderson told police that he didn't want anyone to get in trouble because of the stunt.
Peterson was freed on a $2,000 bond. He has a hearing scheduled April 16. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.
