We all know Craigslist can be great for finding an apartment<\/a>, retrieving your stolen property<\/a> and getting a law degree from Georgetown<\/a>. And apparently, the site’s reputation is so solid that there are adult men in Michigan who thought it would be perfectly okay to arrange a circumcision through the online bazaar. <\/p>\n Authorities in Kent County, MI, have arrested a 56-year-old man and charged him with unauthorized practice as a health professional after he allegedly lied about being a doctor and performed at least three circumcisions in the bedroom of his home. <\/p>\n “He had a mini operating room type atmosphere set up at his house and he wore a laboratory coat, and he was even able to administer a local anesthetic before the procedure,” said Lt. Kevin Kelley. When questioned by police, the suspect claimed that he had formerly been a doctor in the military.<\/p>\n “He was a retired EMT or something,” one neighbor told reporters.<\/p>\n The suspect, who is also charged with performing body piercings and massages without a license, met the men through Craigslist and through gay social networking sites.<\/p>\n “Our concern is that there might be people out there that had a medical procedure done… and not realizing in fact that he is not a doctor,” said Lt. Kelley. Anyone with information regarding the case is encouraged to contact the Kent County Sheriff’s Office at (616) 632-6100. <\/p>\n Neighbors say they were completely unaware of anything illicit going on at the suspect’s home.<\/p>\n Recalled one neighbor, “We had Thanksgiving dinner with him about four years ago and everything was okay over there but obviously not.” <\/p>\n Ya think?<\/p>\n
