Cook County Sheriff's Department
Elaine Cook, 51, was charged with aggravated domestic battery for allegedly biting off part of her boyfriend's tongue during an argument on Valentine's Day.
An Illinois woman was arrested after allegedly biting off a large piece of her boyfriend's tongue following a domestic dispute on Valentine's Day.
Police say Elaine Cook of Skokie, Ill., and her boyfriend of 10 months went out last week for Valentine's Day, returned to her apartment and got into a fight.
Cook reportedly asked him to leave her apartment, but he wanted to end the argument.
"He told her they should stop fighting and went to kiss her," Assistant State's Attorney Eve Reilly told the Chicago Sun-Times, "and she bit off a large portion of his tongue."
Reilly said Cook's boyfriend ran to the sink bleeding. Cook followed him and threw the tongue on the counter. He put the piece into a bag of ice, and then he and Cook's roommate called 911.
The boyfriend was rushed to Evanston Hospital, Reilly said, but doctors could not reattach the tongue because of inadequate blood supply, the Sun-Times reported.
In the days following the maiming, the 47-year-old boyfriend, who asked not to be identified, said he was in a lot of pain.
“Obviously, talking is not the best thing to do right now,” the man told the Sun-Times. “[But] at least I can talk. It’s just sad. The whole thing."
Court records show Cook was arrested Friday, and Cook County Judge Israel Desierto ordered her to be held Sunday in lieu of $100,000 bail.
Her boyfriend, who said he has "a lot of mixed feelings," said he didn't want to see Cook's life ruined by going to jail.
"It makes me sick to my stomach that she's sitting in jail right now, but it's just out of my hands," said the man. "I have to focus on getting better now."
Cook is due back in court on Wednesday.

LOL... I suppose it could have been worse... what if she had been south of his border?
Crazy bitch!!!! More male hating abuse and probably a slap on the wrist one year suspended sentence. If a man did that to a women he'd get 15 years at least.
She did ask him to leave, didn't she?
A woman troll!!!
He's lying, he could stop those charges if he wanted to. LOL! You don't stick your tongue in the mouth of anyone that is angry. What a putz! She can claim he was forcing himself on her and the whole game changes. Sticking your tongue in someone's mouth while arguing? He needs to be evaluated for his sanity......... Dang, I just can't get over how stupid this is.
No matter, that is one crazy Bitch Whore.
I personally support her right to bite the offending tongue off. Maybe if he had put.... Well, I better keep that one to myself so that I do not offend the Puritans in da house.... LMAO!
Good thing he wasn't rimming her, who knows what he would have got!!

In the meantime, who pooped in your cornflakes and why the hell are you telling me?
Ok here is the real Question, did she or didn't she swallow ? Hey its important ! because if she did, she needs to see a exorcist , and if she didn't a psychiatrist will be fine !
steven, youre an idiot, get someone to read n explain the article to you n then you will have your answer... what is wrong w/ you, coming to this site, you bit off more than you can chew... did you swallow
Whatever he did to her in the past that pissed her off she had not let it go. It's a piece of tongue now but what will it be next time she gets angry with him. I say grow a pair and be done with this sick *itch. If he takes her back then he is as sick in the head as she is.
Welcome to our world of the modern lady. Cant cook raise a kid or do anything but seek government work welfare or an office job where they live from a production of a product made by some evil man. By the way 50% of these modern ladies are on Prozac class of medication brought to you by a corrupt relation of Government ,Education,Medical and pharmaceutical "industries". Note Government is nothing but a "INDUSTRY". But have no fear these girls can join the Marines where they will live off man's work as provided by corrupted liberals. The same ignorance that made Al Gores scam result in selling a Cable network to Big Oil.
sicko, cannibal :(
ellen james :)
Ewww.Just yuck about the whole story!
I guess Elaine Cook had a craving for tongue and couldn't wait to buy some at the grocery store. Yeah, what is going on in Illinois with all the murders, girlfriends biting off tongues of their boyfriends, etc? I guess she was upset at the Valentine gift her boyfriend got her or didn't get her. He should have taken her advice and left when she told him to, at least he would have still had his tongue, he could have made up with her later. I guess he didn't know his girlfriend well enough to read her anger signals. I guess he learned a very valuable lesson from the experience.
I can't believe he doesn't want her jailed- I hope that does not mean he wants to keep seeing her. She is abusive and probably crazy. He needs to run far, and fast. There is no excuse for what she has done. He will see how hard it is to eat and swallow, and probably also to speak- I imagine he will need voice therapy so he can be understood. Missing a 'huge hunk' of his tongue is no laughing matter, which sadly he will find out as he heals.
A real nitemare ! Before there's this female who chops off a guy's dingy-Now this one bites off the guy's tongue
"It makes me sick to my stomach that she's sitting in jail right now, but it's just out of my hands," said the man. "I have to focus on getting better now." He must really be in love, but she has to be responsible for her actions. Ouchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
For this very reason I am wary of BJs. Of course I don't allow angry women near my privates but one never knows.
It would appear that his choich of Mickey D's wasn't what she had in mind for their first Valentines Day dinner together even if he didn't limit her to the dollar menu. After the fight he must have thought a make up kiss would lead to even better make up sex. "WOW" after looking at her photo she must be really damn good with her tongue { even if she doesn't swallow } that he's willing to overlook the fact that she bit off part of his, he should have stayed in his long term relationship with Rosey Palm and her five daughters.
What a sick woman.
