A South Carolina man may want to think twice next time someone offers him a helping hand.
Gerald B. Hardin, 34, was charged with six crimes, including mail fraud after he, along with another suspect, allegedly cut off a person’s hand with a polesaw in May of 2008 so the three of them could collect an insurance payout.
The State reported that the man was transported to the hospital, where doctors were unsuccessful in re-attaching his hand.
The men received a payout of more than $670,000 from a homeowners policy and three other policies covering accidental death and dismemberment, according to the indictment.
