The kitchen garbage disposal seems to be jammed due to the internal organs. Conklin, a former Mc Donald’s manager was arrested by the authority.  He said that he and the man were caught in a wrestling in a bed when he reached the screwdriver and stuck it into the victim’s ear and wriggled it around.
