Woman accused of biting off part of sister’s nose

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Let me guess she’s a Mike Tyson fan.   What could possibly possess someone to do this, if picking your nose is bad, biting a big chunk off has to be worse!

NAPOLEON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — A Jonesville woman was charged with biting off part of her sister’s nose. Bobbie Smith was held in the Jackson County Jail on a $5,000 bond after her arraignment Tuesday on charges including mayhem and domestic violence. Napoleon Township Police Chief Michael Curry said the 27-year-old woman bit off “a significant portion” of Sandra Smith’s nose during a fight Sunday. Police recovered the detached piece.

Assistant Prosecutor Mark Blumer told the Jackson Citizen Patriot that photographs indicated one-third of Sandra Smith’s nose was bitten off. The 28-year-old woman was to meet with a plastic surgeon at University of Michigan Hospital.

Mayhem, defined in part under a 1931 Michigan law as mutilating another person’s nose, is a 10-year felony.

Jail records didn’t indicate if Bobbie Smith had a lawyer.

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

I’d bet this guys name is Sue because anyone who had a 5 inch knife sticking out of his chest that can sit down and order coffee and complain about the cold is one tough dude!   Only guy I know that could do that would be a guy named Sue.

WARREN, Mich. (AP) — A man who walked into a Michigan diner with a 5-inch knife stuck in his chest ordered a coffee and complained only about the cold weather.

The 52-year-old man, who has not been identified, called a 911 operator in Warren on Sunday night to ask that an ambulance be sent to Bray’s, an eatery in neighboring Hazel Park.

He said he had been stabbed during an attempted robbery half a mile away, then walked to the restaurant and called 911 from a pay phone.

On a recording of the call, the man gives a vague description of his attacker before saying, “I’m gonna sit down at Bray’s ’cause they got a chair and it’s cold out here.”

Restaurant employee George Mirdita tells The Detroit News the man calmly ordered coffee.

Police said Tuesday that the man is recovering.

Police: Wife pulls knife on husband over vodka

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

That must be some really good vodka to risk going to jail over.  I have had some good vodka in my time but never had a bottle worth stickin’ someone with a knife.

CLAWSON, Mich. (AP) — Police said a woman threatened her husband with a 7-inch knife after he threw away her bottle of vodka as she slept in their suburban Detroit home. Clawson police Lt. Scott Sarvello told The Daily Tribune of Royal Oak the man returned home from work Sunday night to find his wife sleeping with a bottle of vodka. He threw away the bottle.

Sarvello said the 34-year-old woman woke up, argued with her husband, went back to sleep, then got up again and grabbed a knife from the kitchen to force him to get her vodka or give her the car keys.

Police said the man held her at bay with a chair while he called 911.

She was arrested and found to have a blood-alcohol level of 0.23 percent. She was arraigned Tuesday on a felony charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.
