Florida of course:

A dentist is facing assault charges after getting into a tug-of-war with a patient over her false teeth.

Dr Michael Hammonds has been accused of assaulting his elderly patient after she refused to hand back a pair of dentures.

His 85 year old victim was left covered in blood and bruises after grappling with the dentist and only escaped his clutches after trying to climb out of a window.

The bizarre denture bust up took place in Deltona, Florida, when Virginia Graham made a routine visit to have a new set of dentures fitted.

As Hammonds, 57, adjusted her lower set of false teeth she began screaming out in pain, according to sheriff's spokesman Brandon Haught.

She pulled out the painful false teeth and threw them at the dentist, demanding a refund.

According to an arrest warrant when Hammonds refused to pay a refund his elderly patient made a grab for the dentures.

'Hammonds held on to the partials as Graham tried to pull them away from him and a brief tug-of-war ensued,' deputy Paul Mele wrote in his arrest report.

Police said the tug-of-war continued into the reception area and ended when Graham used her upper dentures still in her mouth to bite down on her dentists hand and make him release the disputed lower pair.

In an attempt to escape Graham climbed on a receptionist desk to try and escape through a window , but was helped down by another member of staff.

Graham told police she was so afraid during the argument, she thought she might have a heart attack.

She said: 'He was going off on me, and shoving me and grabbing my arms to keep me from leaving.

'I said, "if you don't get out of my face, I'm going to smack you."

'He said, "you do it, come on, smack me, smack me." I didn't smack him, but I bit him so he let loose of my dentures."

She added: 'I'm thinking the man had to be on something. I mean, he was wild.'

Hammonds was charged with false imprisonment, battery and assault on a person older than 65 and grand theft.

He was booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail and later released on $4,000 bond.

Wait a minute...she assualted him first! I'm gonna wait and pass judgment on this one later. I'll bet ol granny has had quite a few run ins with other folks. I work with the elderly and I know just how out of proportion they can make things. I'm usually on their side but it sounds like she carried this situation a little too far. Need to know background on both! She reminds me of Ron Cummings Gma! I guess that is why I'm on the Doc's side really!!!

Yeah, I'm thinking grandma was the greater looney tune.

it's true! the elderly can be meaner than a snake! but the dentist was still a fool to do battle with the old bat.
the entire scenario cracked me up, i loved the bit about how she climbed on the desk and tried to go out a window.
the deputy called to that mess probably laughed his ass off when it was over.

some of the nastiest people i dealt with in florida were mean old fucks. they think they can get away with anything because of their age. one nearly ran over me once, and when i mentioned that little faux pas she said she should have run over me! evil old bitch.

Right on LC! Being that I work with them I just didn't wanna go that far but so, so true. They can be mean as shit and think they are three times as entitled as a teen with a personality disorder. I too think that when she went over the desk was proof enough she was playin it to the hilt. No he shouldn't have struggled with her but we only heard her story. Wanna hear his! You gotta be extremely careful touch an elderly person cause most are on blood thinner and make bruises in a second. I handle them with kid gloves and the ones I work for (I work privately and choose my own clients)a true gems and I really love them. But in Home Health where I spent 15yrs. I encountered the bitchy, mean, and crossed paths with a few pervs. I'll never forget the ret. RR conductor who weighed 300+ lbs., he said this is my last day don't you wanna at least touch it? Degenerate fuck! I didn't complain to anyone but it made me think what he might have done to children in the past. Had he been ambulatory and able to get out of the house, yes, I would've reported him but he wasn't going anywhere. 90% were just lovely but those other 10% were hell but I did it and took my lumps!

Ha! She totally looks like she could take him! And he just looks creepy to me. He looks like a pedophile or a really, really ugly deisel dyke! I wouldn't let him(or it) near my mouth!

After drinking hard liquor and beer for several hours a her son's birthday party on Monday, Tina S. Gonzales, 33, of Naples, decided to enter her neighbor’s apartment without permission, reports the Naples Daily News.

She was repeatedly asked to leave.

That's when things got messy: After throwing a piece of the cake at her neighbor and punching her, Gonzales pinned the neighbor on the ground and bit the inside of her arm.

But deputies were able to solve this case and take a bite out of crime.

They concluded the bite marks matched the teeth and gaps of the Naples woman. ( forensic odontics. did ted bundy in. )

That was easy to determine since the other folks that were present either had no teeth at all or only a few.
