Two heads are not better than one.

A Georgia man who drove home with a friend's headless body after a truck accident then went to bed while the remains dangled out the window faces charges including vehicular homicide and drunk driving, police said on Monday.

John Hutcherson, covered in blood and visibly inebriated, was arrested in bed on Sunday morning after a local resident out on a stroll observed a headless, bloody body hanging out of the 21-year-old man's truck, Cobb County police said.

Police said that Hutcherson and his friend, identified as Francis Brohm, 23, were returning from a bar outside Atlanta early Sunday morning when their black 1992 Chevrolet Z-71 pickup hit a curb near a telephone pole.

Brohm, partially outside the window at the time, was decapitated by a guide wire on the telephone pole, according to police, who recovered his head at the crash site. "Alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor," police said.


Thank you officer Fife for that great deduction in that last sentence. People, people, people. DON'T DRIVE DRUNK! It was my understanding that there are laws in place to prevent these things from occuring by holding the bar/server liable. I myself have been inebriated before, but I definitely remember being able to tell what I was wearing before crashing into bed. I also never drove why intoxicated.

How the hell do you not notice (1)a body in your car and (2)the blood on your clothes before you go to bed? I guess I feel the most for the person that discovered the head. Still, I don't know what is worse, a head on the road or a decapitated body in the truck.
