Man arrested for ripping teeth out of girlfriend’s mouth
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Andy Mark Ward, 38, was arrested early this morning and charged with felony battery and resisting arrest after allegedly ripping his girlfriend’s teeth from her mouth.
An Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputy responded to an apartment in the Holly Heights neighborhood after the victim called 911. The victim told deputies that she and Ward had gotten into a verbal argument, then he wrestled her to the floor, put his fingers in her mouth, and ripped her top teeth out. The deputy wrote that she lost at least three teeth from her top jaw.
When a deputy made contact with Ward, he allegedly walked away, then tried to enter the apartment after being ordered to stay outside. He was reportedly subdued with a Taser but still allegedly refused to put his hands behind his back. He was eventually handcuffed and placed in a patrol vehicle.
Post Miranda, Ward reportedly said they had been arguing over infidelity and denied ever hitting the victim or pulling her teeth out.
Ward has one felony conviction for armed robbery; he served a four-year prison sentence and was released in 2012. He was charged with domestic battery in 2021 and in 2022, but both cases were dropped.
Bail information is unavailable on weekends.

What a monster.
Hopefully the law has some teeth to it for her sake…
We need some serious updating of our judicial system with all of the irrational criminal actions happening across the country. Mental deficiencies and drug usage should not be excuses for actions like this.
Holly Heights (should be Holly Lows instead). The section 8 low life maintaining their cultural supremacy as usual.
It doesn’t matter where you live if you’re a azz then you’re an azz bottom line. The culture learned from their masters!!!!!! How to steal, manipulate, destroy, rape and use drugs after all the ethnic ppl learned from watching The Master and his kind!!!!
Build more prisons without TV’s.
She must be a meth head for someone to be able to just pull her teeth out with their hands
Or just have problems with her teeth. Weird way to go after the victim that you know literally nothing about
Yea exactly, problems with her teeth bc of drugs lmao
That’s like blaming a rape victim for being raped. You need to get your mind right.
No, it’s like making an observation that your teeth shouldn’t just be able to get pulled out of your mouth….
Now that’s a methed up thing to say🤣🤣🤣 if that’s the case he did her a favor the way those meth heads teeth looks🫣
In prison, his nickname should be the tooth fairy
Oh, he’ll be a fairy allright when those convicts hear his story and charges.
That’s been taken already. “Red Dragon” if I remember correctly, he wasn’t captured quite so quickly nor easily.
It would be appropriate for this guy to meet his demise in the same fashion though.
If true, he deserves what’ll happen to him in prison the next time.
Considering the ergonomics required to extract multiple “natural” teeth with one’s bare hands, we may discover it was a “bridge”. A bloodless coup
They should have checked
his hands for Gum shot residue.
They can’t help it. Such people live hand to mouth.
