Stupid comes in many forms in many people...but Terry Lester may have created a new category.
This guys big holiday surprise for his ex-girlfirend was to kill her...using a sex toy rigged to explode! Police said It had "been modified with gun powder and buck shot, which were connected to a trigger inside the battery port." Lester apparently believed that he could pull some kind of "trigger" and by doing so "blow them up." He thought if he left it as a wrapped gift for her when he got kicked him out of their apartment, she'd open it once he was gone and enjoy the memories.
Just so you know he wasn't picky about the ladies, Police found enough supplies to make shag shells for two other ex-girlfriends. Not a smart plan for success since it was likely they were going to hear about the first self-induced pleasure bomb death & back away from the box.
As with most stupid murder plots, he bragged about it to the boys at the bar...who were sober enough to turn him in. Although I'm pretty sure at least a few of them were intrigued by the plot, because guys just love plots that involve nudity and explosions.
