Woman facing mayhem charge for biting off husband's tongue

A 57 year old woman is accused of biting off her husband’s tongue.  She has been charged with mayhem. 

They say she was outside her home singing Christmas carols when someone had called the police.  She

then blew a party horn in an officer’s ear and threw a coffee cup at another.  The police went inside the

house to find her 79-year-old husband with gauze on his mouth.  He kissed her while she was in the

bathroom and she grabbed him and bit off his tongue.  The husband said she went into a “manic state”,

well I would say so.  That seems just crazy to me why you would do something like that.  Hopefully she

gets charged and then gets put somewhere that she can be watched and controlled.
