Man in Minnesota Bites Off Brother's Finger After Vicious Family Dispute
The Associated Press
WILLMAR, Minn. Jan 31, 2005 — Police say a man lost his cool and bit off a third of his younger brother's finger on Thursday night after a vicious family dispute.
A criminal complaint filed in the case said Jose Juarez, 45, got into a fight with his younger brother, Roy Juarez.
Witnesses said Jose Juarez insulted his brother's daughter, and the fight began. At some point, Jose allegedly bit off a third of his brother's middle finger on his right hand. According to the complaint, police said Jose appeared to be quite drunk.
Jose Juarez on Sunday night acknowledged that he bit his brother and that alcohol was a factor.
Roy Juarez was taken to Rice Memorial Hospital where doctors reattached the piece of finger. It's too early to tell if the operation was successful.
Jose Juarez was charged on Friday with two counts of assault and one count of domestic abuse. He was released on his own recognizance. His next court date is Wednesday.
Alcohol related?
Well thank God for that, otherwise he would just be insane.
Is this the veritable "pound of Flesh" we always hear folks taking?
ping.
I've heard of giving the finger...
But eating it?
*sheesh!*
I said pull my finger!!!
You know, I've been really drunk a time or two in my life, and I've been in a fight or two along the way as well...it has never occured to me to actually BITE off pieces of anyone on either occasion.
Why am I always the last to know about these technological advances? LOL! ;)
"Stop banging my girlfriend."
"Hey, she came to me."
"Stop it or else."
"Or else what?"
"I will bite your finegr off."
"Hahahaha. You wouldn't try it!"
Gulp.
I once bit off my brother's ear when he dissed my new mag wheels. I keep it in a jar of vinegar on the living room mantle. He's not getting it back until he apologizes...
Ban teeth.
We'll be able to tell next time he sees his brother.
