MODESTO, Calif. – A Modesto man has died after his wife held him down and bit him repeatedly when he refused to have sex with her, police said.
Kelli Pratt, 45, was booked on suspicion of elder abuse, domestic violence and assault on a police officer. Homicide charges were pending the outcome of toxicology results, said Sgt. Al Carter. Those tests are not expected for several weeks, but they could show whether the bites created an infection that killed 65-year-old Arthur Pratt.
Authorities said he died Sunday at Doctors Memorial Center in Modesto, six days after the attack. His skin was riddled with more than 20 deep tooth marks, which may have contributed to the ailing man’s death, Carter said.
“He was able to dial 911 that night,” Carter said. “We have a tape recording of him screaming while she was biting him. When officers arrived, he was screaming that he’d been assaulted. She fought with the officers and tried to bite them, too.”
Carter said Arthur Pratt had been released from the hospital several days before the incident. He suffered from diabetes, heart and circulation problems, along with other health issues.
Kelli Pratt is being held on $50,000 bail.
“I’ve seen cases where dogs have bitten kids, and blood loss or infection led to death,” Carter said. “I’ve never heard of anyone being bitten to death before.”

Geeesh! No wonder the poor guy wasn’t in the mood. She’ll get out of it and go on to make commercials for Polygrip .
One of the oddest parts of this story is that the wife had MS, and was–for the most part–wheelchair bound. Then, when the cops showed up and arrested her, she tried to bite them too. Apparently she refused to clean herself up before they took her evidence photos, so her face and teeth are all bloody. Wonder how long until Smoking Gun gets those up?
Somebody’s been watching too much Buffy .
