Juggalo Charged With Severing Woman's Finger As Part Of Ritual

SUAMICO, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin man is accused of severing a woman's finger as part of a ritual to commemorate a fellow rap music fan.

Jonathan Schrap is charged with mayhem and reckless injury in an Aug. 27 incident at his house in Suamico.

A criminal complaint says Schrap and his friends were staging a "ritualistic memorial" to commemorate a deceased member of the Juggalos, the name given fans of the Detroit rap duo Insane Clown Posse.

WBAY-TV (http://bit.ly/2c07tLJ ) reports court documents say a 27-year-old woman allowed Schrap to cut her arm with a machete. Prosecutors say she also let Schrap cut off one of her pinky fingers.

The mother of the woman's boyfriend convinced her to go to the hospital where staff called police. Court records do not list a defense attorney.
