<p><strong>To a dessert shop customer, the severed
fingertip found in a pint of frozen custard could be worth big dollars
in a potential lawsuit. To the shop worker who lost it, the value is
far more than monetary.</strong></p>
<p>But Clarence Stowers still has the
digit, refusing to return the evidence so it could be reattached. And
now it's too late for doctors to do anything for 23-year-old Brandon
Fizer.</p>
<p>"I'm not saying who has it, but somebody has it," Stowers
said this week in a telephone interview, refusing to let on where the
fingertip is now.</p>
<p>Soon after Stowers found the finger in a
mouthful of chocolate soft-serve he bought Sunday at Kohl's Frozen
Custard in Wilmington, he put it in his freezer at home, taking it out
only occasionally to show to television cameras.</p>
<p>He refused to
give it to the shop's owner, and refused to give it to a doctor who was
treating Fizer, who accidentally stuck his hand in a mixing machine and
had his right index finger lopped off at the first knuckle.</p>
<p>Medical experts say an attempt to reattach a severed finger can generally be made within six hours.</p>
<p>But according to the shop's management, Stowers wouldn't give it back when he was in the store 30 minutes after the accident.</p>
<p>"The
general manager attempted to retrieve it and rush it to the hospital,"
reads a statement posted Thursday on Kohl's Web site. "Unfortunately,
the customer refused to give it to her and declared that he would be
calling the TV stations and an attorney as he exited the store."</p>
<p><font size="2" face="Century gothic">This guy doesn't deserve a fucking dime. I hope the kid who lost his finger presses charges, and then curbs this fucker.</font><br />
