A St. Paul woman who bit off a piece of her boyfriend's tongue after an argument pleaded guilty Thursday to third-degree assault.

Pamela D. Johnson told police that she had argued with Larry Sylvester in the early morning hours of June 16 in the bedroom of her apartment in the 400 block of Edmund Av. When the argument ended, Sylvester tried to make up by hugging and kissing her, but Johnson said she became fearful and "bit down a little too hard" on his tongue, according to a criminal complaint.

Sylvester, who at one time was engaged to Johnson, was taken to Regions Hospital, where doctors found that the front third of his tongue was missing. Police couldn't find the bitten piece, and Johnson told officers that she doesn't remember what happened to it.

Under her plea Thursday, she did not admit to assaulting Sylvester but agreed that there is sufficient evidence for a jury to find her guilty.

She will be sentenced Nov. 16 by Ramsey County District Judge Marybeth Dorn.
