Gold Teeth May Cost Nashville $95,000 Lieutenant Broke Off Grill From Arrested Man's Mouth

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A set of gold teeth may cost the city of Nashville $95,000. In November, Anthony McCoy was arrested on suspicion of failure to pay child support. During booking, McCoy was ordered to remove the gold "grill" in his mouth.

When McCoy explained that the grill was permanently cemented to his teeth, a sheriff's department lieutenant reached into McCoy's mouth and broke it off, according to Metro Council resolution No. RS2010-1156. The damage to McCoy's teeth is estimated at $10,000.

The city will consider the resolution to settle McCoy's injury claim for $95,000 for the damage to his mouth and because the jail delayed medical attention. The man apparently asked to see a dentist and was given Tylenol until about 10 days after the incident.

Lieutenant Tanya Mayhew was demoted and given a five-day suspension.

Depends where you live in Nashville. I got to listen to the cops shoot an illegal yesterday after the psycho started stabbing one officer. Fun stuff.

Try “Reading Comprehension 101”!

I didn’t justify the cop’s actions.

I said watch the guy and you’ll find him committing a crime.

And that matters...how?

Exactly...you are trying to somehow justify the action.

Try "logic 101!"
