The remarriage of an Oklahoma man's ex-wife leaves a bad taste in his mouth:
An Oklahoma man is facing charges for attacking his ex-wife her new husband.During the struggle, 35-year-old Tom Ledgerwood allegedly bit off and swallowed body parts from both of his victims.
Kristy and Larry Nuckols got married on Monday. This should be the happiest time of their lives, but what happened two weekends ago in the small town of Sasakwa has scarred them forever.
Kristy says the two of them were chased down a dirt road and their car got stuck.
That's when she says her ex-husband, Tom Ledgerwood, and some friends confronted them.
Larry says, "I had some mace and I hit him right in the eye, and he dove in the car."
Larry says they started fighting and were rolling around inside the car when Tom began biting him.
Larry says, "He told me, 'You know what that was? That's your ear, and I'm going to get the other one.'"
Larry lost half of his left ear, the top of his right one, and thought he was going to also lose his life.
Larry says, "People come up behind me yelling kill him, kill him Tom, kicking me in the back of the head."
That's when Kristy says she jumped in to try to save Larry.
Kristy says, "I went to put my fingers in his mouth to pull him back. One chomp and I knew that sucker was coming off."
Larry says, "I knew we weren't going to get out of there alive, so I started conniving."
Kristy says they eventually got her ex-husband to calm down.
Kristy says, "That's when he said he swallowed my finger and his ears."
Ledgerwood was arrested and is charged with five felony counts and could spend close to 50 years behind bars.
Larry says, "He's a mad dog. He needs to be put down."
Kristy says she and Tom were married for 17 years and their divorce became final last month.
If he'd insisted on his full pound of flesh this could have been tragic.

more common if Hillary Clinton is elected. ;-)
Was this guy related to Mike Tyson?

I think the for the first time in the history of "Things I've Read on the Internet," I can say that this statement is literally true.
Really. If a dog did this, he would be dead, am I right? And a dog does not have human reasoning and morality lobes. To repeat, he ate the flesh of supposed enemies.
His attorney will, guaranteed, cite alcohol as a factor. As will attorneys for the mob who cheered him on.
Put him down, humanely. If the ACLU objects, at least neuter him. He cannot reproduce. If the ACLU objects again, invite them to discuss it in your office and then bite their fingers off.
