Man Wakes Up With Bullet In Tongue
from local 6 (florida is really really bizarre)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Police say a man who woke up with a serious headache walked 12 blocks to a hospital with a swollen lip and powder burns.
Doctors then discovered the problem. Officials said 47-year-old Wendell Coleman had a bullet lodged in his tongue.
Coleman told police that a woman stuck a gun barrel in his mouth during a dispute around 2:30 Tuesday morning and that he heard the gun go off.
Police said Coleman then went home to sleep.
What authorities did with the bullet wasn't clear last night.
