"You're going to tell me where my teeth are, or I'm going to kill you,"

By Alex in Crime & Law on Nov 5, 2008 at 12:40 pm


Some people are very attached to their false teeth that they’re willing to fight bloody battles and even kill their loved ones for ‘em.

Take the case of one Louise Deeringer, 56, of Tampa, Florida:

It all started about 11:15 p.m. Thursday in a mobile home at 6012 Broadway Ave., where Deeringer confronted Dugas about where he had put her teeth, police said.

Dugas, 49, said he didn’t know where her teeth were, but Deeringer, 56, didn’t believe him, police said. Dugas got angry and gave Deeringer what she told police were "flying lessons" – he tossed her up in the air and on the kitchen floor, police said.

Deeringer grabbed a kitchen knife and chased him outside, police said. She saw him re-enter through the back door and chased him down a hall, at one point saying, "You’re going to tell me where my teeth are, or I’m going to kill you," police said.

Turns out, the teeth were behind the TV stand. Oops! Link

    Hmmmm. Trailer living, white trash, Florida, and domestic violence. Sounds like an episode of COPS if ever I heard one.

    It must have been just a bit comical to have someone with no teeth yelling at you. "Where arrr mah teef!?"

    I'm somehow disappointed.
