SIX-MONTH SENTENCE FOR 62-YEAR-OLD WHO BIT OFF AND SWALLOWED FINGER DURING FIGHT A 62-year-old man has been sent to prison for six months for biting off and swallowing half of a finger
during a fight. The former farmer, who had no previous court convictions, received a full prison sentence of two years, but 18-months were suspended. The incident happened last year in
Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche in the Haute-Vienne, during a drunken fight with an acquaintance. The man knocked the 76-year-old to the ground before holding up his hand and biting off half of his
little finger in a single go. The court heard that the finger was never found and the accused did not remember biting it off. The accused told the court: “I didn't think it was that
bad, an altercation between neighbours – that's all.” When the judge asked him to clarify he responded: “There's worse Mr President.”
