Charges: Iowa Woman Pretends To Kiss Husband, Bites Lip Instead

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a Sioux City woman who approached her husband for a kiss instead bit and tore his lower lip.

Court records say 59-year-old Carol Smith is charged with felony willful injury. Her attorney didn't immediately return a call Friday from The Associated Press.

The documents say the incident occurred in the couple's Sioux City home on May 24 last year. Police say Smith's husband required plastic surgery and say his psychologist reports that the man now suffers from a post-traumatic stress disorder.

Smith's next court appearance is scheduled for April 15.
