Woman allegedly bites boyfriend's lip in fight

[March 19, 2010]  SAN ANGELO (AP) -- A woman was charged with aggravated assault with a weapon -- her teeth -- after allegedly biting off part of her boyfriend's lip in a domestic dispute on Sunday night.

Aubrey Joyce Garcia, 27, remained in the Tom Green County Jail on Tuesday with bail set at $30,000. Bradley Miles, her attorney, could not be reached for comment.

Her boyfriend, Antonio Zaragoza, 33, was treated at a hospital and released.

Teeth are considered a weapon because they allegedly were used to disfigure a person, officials said.

If convicted, Garcia faces up to 99 years in prison.
