SUFFOLK—A Suffolk woman who barked like a dog and tried to bite another person's finger off was declared incompetent to stand trial yesterday in district court.

Lillian Beasley, 43, was charged with malicious wounding, trespassing and using profane language after a confrontation in March in which police say she bit another woman's finger until she almost severed it.

At her appearance in General District Court on Monday, her trial was continued after a psychiatrist said she was unable to assist in mounting a defense. The case will be re-evaluated in November.

According to the police report, Beasley became involved in a confrontation at the home of another woman on Smith Street, and when the other woman put up her hands defensively, Beasley bit her left pinkie finger and almost tore it off her hand.

Debbie George, spokeswoman for the city, said police arrived to find Beasley hurling herself in the mud in the front yard and barking.

Too much crack, I’m guessing.
