ST. PAUL. Minn. (AP) -- A goodnight kiss turned into a man's nightmare when his girlfriend bit off part of his tongue.
The 43-year-old woman told police she became frightened Wednesday morning when her boyfriend squeezed her too tightly while they kissed -- and her reflex was to bite down.
"I guess I bit down too hard," the woman told officers, adding that she has been victimized by men in the past.
The woman was arrested and could be charged Thursday in Ramsey County, investigators said.
Her 47-year-old boyfriend walked with the woman from her home to a restaurant, where they called police around 3:10 a.m. He was treated at a hospital.
Officers went to the woman's home to look for the tongue, but they couldn't find it.
The woman, who had been drinking with her boyfriend, told police she doesn't remember what happened to the end of his tongue. Police estimate that it measured about 1.5 inches.
She might have swallowed it, the woman said.
