The severed finger was reportedly wrapped in cloth inside the man’s wallet, KSTU reported. According to a police report, the finger “had what appeared to be pus and blood around it.”
The fingernail appeared to be decayed and officers noticed a foul smell when the finger was removed from the cloth, the news organization reported.
It was not immediately clear why Chavez-Zuniga had the detached digit in his wallet or who it belonged to, according to KIRO 7.
