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.

Putting anything in a pissed-off woman's mouth is insane. Just call this lady "PIRHANNA PUSS"
Her sentence should be he gets to give her oral sex......................
Maybe his tounge was bigger than his penis......and she got mad....i mean really really really mad......go figure....
she should do time she maimed the guy he wasn't threatening her
Bet she has razors in her huha......Beware future loves.......
She needs a pear of anguish to be put in her mouth.....Like they used to do in the mid-evil days..... the Pear...would do wonders for her....she would never bite anyone again......just sayin......
Ok it's become obvious that we need bite and choke control laws. Can we regulate bites and chokes? The number of teeth and fingers used? lol
Wow, poor man. What I would give to have a man who didn't want to argue or fight.
gee, she looks so sweet too. go figure.
Did the cat get your tongue?
Did the cat ur tongue? hehehehe....
A good, sound beating of her would cure her biting problem.
how long before this bimbo claims she did it in self defence and accuse her victom of being an abuser??? she needs to die in behind bars period
its settled! women are f**cking crazy... Thats what womens lib did for us. if this was 1850 that never would have happened. LOL. She would be way to afraid of getting her ass beat to a pulp. I could see it now. (judge) Sir youve beaten your girlfriend into a comma how do u plead? Not guilty your honor, due to the fact that i tried to kiss her to make up and she bite my F888cking tongue off! (judge) Case dismissed! !!!!!
He shouldve put his dik in her mouth then it wouldve been fuk what you say...!!
I wonder if this article is the whole story?
So many of these articles, even the one where the 60 yr old man slapped a small baby on a plane, these news sources make all of their money from your clicks so the more outrageous they are, the more money they make. There is no requirement anymore for fact-checking like there was back in the good ol days before the internet.
Boy gets suspended for pretending to throw a grenade!!!!
Later you find out the boy was throwing rocks at the other kids and calling those rocks grenades.
And the "suspension" was nothing more than an hour of after-school detention.
Little girl gets suspended for bringing bubble gun to school!!! Okay, What's the 'real' story?
All news is yellow journalism anymore.
he spent his whole life thinking that the cat would get it,just sayin
I love these comments, but this bitch is dangerous and is right where she should be for now! The fact that he said she asked him to leave is the pivital remark in this case.. The jury will find her not guilty if. she says he forced himself on her. But this girl needs help... To bite off your so called lovers thonge because your pissed or drunk shows this girls personality is way out there! I would never fall to sleep in this girls bed!!!!
She may have a hard time claiming he was forcing himself on her given her room mate was right there and able to help call 911 to help him...
Which STRONGLY suggests he thought he was trying to diffuse the situation. But people don't deserve to be maimed purely because they are social morons...if that was the case, most people would be disfigured before leaving highschool, boys and girls alike.
At least she didn't pull a "Jodi Arias" on him.
Elaine Cook from Cook county has cooked her goose.
What a nut job, you see she did not need a gun to create damage, but like other psyco's lock her away fro people she could hurt.
Lore&Wisdom Do you have more information than this article. From what I read it seems they were fighting, which usually means arguing, but if my daughter bit off someone's tongue, I would have serious reservations about her thought processes, like that of yours. She committed a crime when she became the aggressor, you sure lack wisdom and knowledge, sure advise someone else to do an act of stupidity.
I'm sure he deserved it ! Perhaps he viewed some porn ...
Yeah, right. Give her the same sentence a man would receive for biting off the tongue of a woman.
I would say she's a Mike Tyson, Lorena Bobbit, Hannibal Lector in training....scary. This man is really so desperate and gullable that he doesn't get what a threat she is to herself and him....DENSE!!!!!
She must have a set of very big sharp teeth.
