Police: Braces Hold 11-Year-Old's Teeth to Gum After Dad's Attack

Omaha, NE - Police say a father attacked his wife and 11-year-old daughter, leaving the wife bloodied and the girl with teeth dangling. Her braces held them to her gums.

38-year-old Michael D. Williams was arrested for domestic assault and felony child abuse. Officers found Brenda Williams with swelling in her left eye. The 11-year-old was holding a bloody rag to her mouth; when she removed it, officers said her "front teeth were hanging from her gums by her braces."

Police searched for Williams and found him down the street. The mother and daughter went to Bergan Mercy, where they were treated.
