MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man allegedly shot himself in the neck while trying to steal a car from a dealership in Nutbush Friday.
26-year-old Joshua Garvins has what appears to be a bandage taped to his neck in his mugshot. Memphis Police say he was shot himself while trying to steal a car from Champion Auto Sales on Jackson Avenue.
According to court documents, the victim, who works at the dealership, was trying to sell a vehicle to Garvins by taking him on a test drive.
The victim told police he felt uneasy because Garvins was “acting peculiar.”
Police say the victim got out of the car and took the keys with him, but that’s when things took a sharp turn.
Reports say Garvins demanded that the victim give him the keys, at which point the victim denied.
MPD says Garvins allegedly threatened to kill the victim, and the two got into a physical altercation over the keys. The suspect then pulled out a gun.
Witnesses say the two wrestled over control of the gun, and that is when shots rang out.

He did bring a gun, for all the good that did him. Thanks again, Gun Bunny.
I think the American people should express their preferences, and we’ll accept their choice.

No, I am not going to include “shotgun” in T2NB2AGF.
there are times when I wish The Darwin Selection Committee would have a slightly wider criteria, the above two stories as examples.
Instead of WRT, they should both be DRT. (sigh……)
I just snag ’em and tag ’em, Tox. I do agree it’s more gooder when the perp has been toe tagged and bagged, tho. It is nice when we have a mug shot.
Too bad that many in our own grubermint think that the American people can express their preferences and then accept their choice.
Who wouldn’t want to slither up to the Hand Cannon and put the squeeze on it?
Admit, that Hand Cannon would be an excellent defense on the North Rebutment. (but where are the wheels and caisson?)
It’s a freakin’ .357… , cannons start with a combination of .4 or .5 and big-boy descriptions like ‘Colt’ or ‘Magnum’
“Too bad that many in our own grubermint”… Nothing need follow. YMMV, IMHO, IYKYK, Dictated, not reeded.
“And he IS my dog.”
“What a good boy”
FOUR cops, and the best they could do is WRT?
YOU ARE A NO-GO AT THIS STATION, MORE RANGE TIME IS NEEDED.

Gotta admire his initiative.
