Once bitten, twice crazy


Woman bitten after 'bite me' remark
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MERIDEN, Conn. - An analyst at the Connecticut Police Academy says a co-worker responded literally to her "bite me" remark and chomped on her.

Former Waterbury police captain Francis Woodruff was charged Tuesday with disorderly conduct and released on a promise to appear in court. He's accused of biting academy licence and applications analyst Rochelle Wyler on April 24.

A police arrest report says Wyler had teeth marks and bruising on the back of her left arm.

Wyler's complaint alleges Woodruff was annoying her by calling her a clerk.

She says she responded with "bite me" - and he did.

Woodruff is also a training co-ordinator with the 130-member police department in Meriden, just south of Hartford.

He says he was joking.

I think if this story teaches us anything its to not wax professional about ones title. So you're a licensing and applications analyst but you're sitting at a desk helping folks. One might consider you a clerk. There's nothing wrong with that. I've been called worse. I really think this uppity young woman is lucky she didn't get a beer poured on her head for putting on airs.
