Ground Report

A woman bit off her ex-boyfriend’s lower lip as they were kissing in bed, likely disfiguring him permanently, authorities at the Sheriff’s office in Seattle said. The 49-year-old man and the woman kissed several times on Monday night when, without provocation, she bit off his lip and spat it out, he told sheriff’s deputies.Deputies were called to the house in Seattle and found the man bleeding on the porch. "There was quite a bit of blood," sheriff’s Sgt John Urquhart said. "He could talk, but just barely." Deputies reported finding the man’s lip on the bedroom floor, covered with cat hair. Doctors at a hospital were unable to reattach the lip, and deputies said he was likely to remain disfigured. Officials said a 44-year-old woman in the house cursed and attacked one of the deputies with a pillow before being arrested. She was jailed on investigation of domestic violence but had not been charged. Deputies had been called to the home an hour before the attack because the woman apparently was drunk and disruptive. At that time there was no indication of violence or any other reason to arrest her, Urquhart said. The police has yet not released the name of the accused woman.
