A California man is competing with Florida Man for weirdest headline of the week — ’cause he got arrested for walking around and apparently chomping on a human severed leg.
The dude’s name is Rosendo Tellez. and he got busted Friday out near Bakersfield — in a small town called Wasco — after eyewitnesses saw him strolling through town with what looked to be an entire limb that was attached to a person just earlier in the day.
Kern County officials say the leg was illegally taken from the scene of a train accident that morning — when Tellez is alleged to have swooped it up after a man was hit and killed at the Amtrak station in town. Not too long after that … citizens say they spotted Tellez holding it.
Some even claimed to FOX26 News that Tellez was taking bites out of the leg … which seemed to be the case based on this video of the guy that’s circulating on the internet.
It’s a gruesome sight … as you can see the flesh dangling from the chopped-off leg, and sure enough — you can also see this man, identified as Tellez, seemingly going in for a nibble.
Tellez was eventually intercepted by Sheriff’s deputies … and he was reportedly arrested without incident. He was booked on several charges — including outstanding warrants, possession of drug paraphernalia and for removal of human remains from a location other than a cemetery. If you’re curious … that’s considered a misdemeanor in California.
He’s got a hearing on Tuesday to address all this stuff, and he’s still in custody right now.
