I still have another growing at my dad's place! but I left her in her pot, now that I'm down one plant I can bring her home! Now my question is, it's so close to flowering is it beneficial to leave her in the pot or put her in the ground like the rest?

Definitely a male. Just throw a trash bag over it and chop it. Sorry for your loss. :(

I I just chopped it down !! He shook a bit I didn't see power come off him but is there a good chance that I contaminated the rest of the plants?
 
Did any of the pollen sacks burst? The ones I saw in the pic looked like they had another week or two before they would be ready.

Anytime you are removing a male, SOP is to mist the other plants with water first. It will kill any stray pollen. But since your girls are not in flower, odds are there will be no seeds.

If you were wanting to make a few seeds, it's stupid easy to move the male and collect pollen in a safe location, then paint one or two buds to make a couple dozen seeds.

If you are around your plants everyday, you will see the male sacks in plenty of time to move it. Folks will cut the shoots off when the pollen sacks are close to opening, and put them in a glass of water. Put freezer paper down, and let the pollen fall on it. Remove all plant material and let the pollen dry for a few days. Then store with grains of rice in your freezer until you are ready to use it. About 2-3 weeks into flower is the best time to pollinate.

A little pollen goes a long way. Anytime you mess with a male plant or pollen, make sure you wash your hands and or change clothes before touching flowering females.
