TULSA -- A woman told police her boyfriend bit off her nose at a family dinner, an officer said Friday. Jody Bennett, 37, of California told officers she and her boyfriend were visiting family members Thursday in Tulsa. They were in a back room when the man bit off her nose, police said.
Bennett came from the room with a bloody napkin over her face, police said.
Officers were unable to find the nose. They believe the man swallowed it, police Sgt. Kim Presley said. A doctor told officers that pumping the man's stomach would not help because his stomach acid would have dissolved the nose's cartilage.
"They couldn't find it," Presley said. "That's probably the most disgusting thing I have ever heard of before."
Police arrested Greg Harrison Hill, 45, about 7:35 p.m. Thursday on complaints of resisting arrest, maiming and domestic abuse and violence, Tulsa County jail records show.
Hill told police he did not bite his girlfriend.
Presley said officers cleaned blood from Hill before booking him. He was in jail Friday in lieu of $40,500 bail.
Presley did not know where the woman was Friday.
Nothing to snort at there.
This is an old Apache punishment for wifely infidelity.
I am not making this up.
is canabilism still illegal? Why not that charge?
"Put some ice on that"
Uffda!
He ate her nose for dinner. Unnnngh!
When I was a teenager, one of my classmates was in an otherwise minor fender-bender where a shard of glass sliced off his nose. The troopers found it, wrapped it in a damp cloth and ice, and the ER sewed it back on. Except for a certain lumpiness, the operation took, and he kept his nose. This was the first time ( circa 1962 ) I'd ever heard of such a thing.
"That's probably the most disgusting thing I have ever heard of before."
What she said!
One might say..."She missed it by a nose"
This could be Lorena Bobbit's brother...good thing he's not gay.
Yes, this story is gawd-awful... I really can't think of a suitable punishment for the "boyfriend" that isn't Cruel & Unusual.
Nose for a nose...?
I must say...that it's such a nutty world...that I wouldn't be surprised to find out...there's some strange twists to this story. ( Besides the obvious....(vbg) )
FRegards,
Don't pick your friends nose... or bite it off and eat it...
Probably tasted better than anything I could cook!
Perhaps Michael Jackson has a spare one she could use.
Mike Tyson had no comment re: his uncle Greg...
LOL!!
With fava beans and a nice chianti?
