Florida woman bites boyfriend in privates ‘out of frustration,’ cops say
A couple having beers in a Miami Beach apartment got into an argument after a friend visited around midnight, according to police.
Police say Esperanza Gomez got upset when the woman left the Harding Avenue apartment sometime after 3 a.m. Wednesday. Gomez, police say, accused her boyfriend of wanting to sleep with the other woman.
According to the arrest affidavit, Gomez, 33, and her boyfriend started drinking beers around 9 p.m. Sometime around midnight Gomez left the apartment and returned with the woman, who they say is a friend.
More beers were downed and the friend left.
That’s when Gomez and her boyfriend started to argue — after Gomez said her boyfriend wanted to have sex with the woman, the arrest report said.
She “became irate over that” and grabbed her boyfriend by the arms, yelled at him, and “began to poke him with a knife,” the report said.
He wasn’t seriously hurt by the knife, police said, but did have three red marks and “slight redness to his upper chest area.”
When the man told the woman to stop or he would call the police, Gomez bit his penis “out of frustration,” he told officers, according to the report, which also said the man did not want Miami Beach Fire Rescue to come to the apartment.
He also told the four responding officers that Gomez had hit him before “but nothing was done about it,” according to the complaint.
Gomez was arrested at 4:40 a.m. Wednesday and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, battery and domestic violence, according to court records.
She is being held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $6,500 bond.
On Thursday, Gomez, who was born in Queens, New York, filed an affidavit for indigent status and has been ordered to stay away from her boyfriend, according to Miami-Dade court records.
