Woman Bites 1/3 of Sisters Nose Off
In Napoleon, Michigan two sisters were bickering and apparently the fighting was escalating. One sister bit a third of her sister’s nose off. Quick somebody put a muzzle on that thing. That is ridiculous and what’s sad is that they’re older. The 27-year-old Bobbie Smith is the one that bit off “a significant portion” of 28-year-old Sandra Smith’s nose during a fight on Sunday. According to the prosecutor Sandra suffered “a major, disfiguring injury.”
According to Bobbie Smith’s attorney both women were intoxicated but this woman was 27 and she knew exactly what she was doing. How could someone do that to anyone let alone a family member? Bobbie acted like an animal that needs to be caged. Police were called to the scene following the incident and were able to recover the bitten off piece of cartilage. The 28-year-old victim went to meet a plastic surgeon at the University of Michigan Hospital, but it is unclear if it will be able to be reattached.
Bobbie was arrested and has been charged with mayhem and domestic violence along with resisting or obstructing an officer and malicious destruction of police property. She had no visible injuries when she was arrested but kicked an officer and caused damage to a patrol car. The 27-year-old is in Jackson county Jail on a $5,000 bond after her arraignment Tuesday.
Mayhem as defined by a 1931 Michigan Law specifically includes mutilating another person’s nose which comes with a maximum 10-year felony. Even though Michigan does have a law including nose biting it isn’t common. Jackson Country Chief Assistant Prosecutor said this type of crime has only come up in his career a few times.
When the woman faced the judge she said, “I am really sorry for what I did. I love my sister.” But then she followed that statement with “Sandra Smith hit her first.” It doesn’t matter who hit who first. The fact is that physically fighting is ridiculous especially for women of this age. Even three year olds know not to get caught up in the moment and bite someone’s nose off.
Hopefully this woman is in jail for a while. This was absurd, out of control and she needs to take anger management classes. Along with the sister that had her nose bit off. After all, it takes two to fight. If it is just one person then a fight can’t go on its abuse. These women seriously need counseling and etiquette lessons. Apparently these women never learned how to resolve conflict without being physical.
