SFist Blotter

Brian Rossiter, the owner of "the most famous hand in America," has begun lashing out at reporters, describing his life as "hell" since the news broke that he sold his severed finger to Anna Ayala and her husband Jaime Plascencia to drop in a bowl of Wendy's chili for $50. Rossiter's mood seems to have darkened from Wednesday, where he was reported to have gone to his favorite bar, waved his hand around, and gotten his buddies to buy him numerous shots of his favorite drink, Goldschlager. Goldschlager?

A prominent doctor at SF General was found murdered in the doorway of his house in Diamond Heights. Police are focusing on cherry pits strewn around the house and outside in his yard as possible clues.

And the police have a man in custody who set fire to a building across the street from the Old Mint in SoMA last night. The man was seen running out of the building with a jar filled with liquid and screaming that he was involved with the fire. The SF Fire Department rescued six residents in the building who were either trapped in their apartments or had fled to the roof.
