A woman in Florida is likely to need emergency dentistry after she pulled some of her own teeth out and threw them into a lake.
Tina Belinda Masta, 46, was found sitting on the pier close to her home in Naples by police on Saturday (March 5th 2011) after they were called by worried neighbours.
She was under the influence of alcohol and had been throwing rocks at people before pulling some of her teeth out and throwing them into the water.
When the police arrived, she asked them for pliers so she could remove some more before she was able to be apprehended.
Ms Masta is likely to need emergency dentistry and perhaps even dental implants to repair the damage.
In a similar case in January, 47-year-old James Reddin from Meenaladdy in Ireland was also arrested after extracting a number of his teeth with pliers, the Donegal Democrat reported.
