Texas Woman Ordered To Pay $62,000 To Sister Whose Nose She Bit Off

And you thought your family was dysfunctional! A Texas woman is going to have to put her money where her mouth was — and pay up to the sister whose nose she bit off!

Via NY DailyNews reports:

A Texas woman who bit her sister’s nose off during a drunken fight has been ordered to pay her $62,000 in compensation, a court ruled.

Lluvia Paloma Rodriguez, 29, avoided being sent to jail for the horrific attack at her Houston home in July 2012 – which saw her completely sever sibling Ivon’s nose from her face.

It left Ivon undergoing a series of painful surgeries, where doctors reconstructed the nose using cartilage and skin before it was reattached.

The court heard Rodriguez had returned home from a night of partying with her husband and sister when she started to argue with her spouse.

Her sister tried to intervene and Rodriguez lashed out – first biting into her arm and then targeting her nose.

A case document stated: “The defendant bit the (victim’s) nose off, severing it and detaching her nose from her face, causing pain and serious bodily injury.”

Prosecutors described Rodriguez as a “mean angry drunk” who carried out a “vicious animal-like attack,” reports the Houston Chronicle.

Found guilty of felony aggravated assault of a family member, she walked from court after being sentenced to five years’ probation, 240 hours of community service and a $500 fine.

Rodriguez must also pay $62,000 to her sister, who showed off her facial scars as she testified on Monday, and write her a letter of apology.

SMH. Mean angry drunk? You don’t say. If this lady did all that just slizzed off some alcohol can you imagine the damage that would’ve happened if she’d taken bath salts?
