Alleged Connecticut sex attacker with injured tongue put on suicide watch
He was taken into custody a little more than 12 hours after he allegedly attacked a woman coming out of the Basilica of St. John the Evangelist church on Atlantic Street at 10 p.m. Thursday, police said.
After being refused a hug by the woman, (Gerard Michael) Landon allegedly grabbed her and pulled her down an alleyway between the church and rectory. After he forced his tongue into her mouth, the woman bit off an inch of his tongue, which officers recovered, police said.
He was taken into custody late the next morning after he appeared at a massage-chiropractic center on Bedford Street about two blocks north of the Police Department sticking out his tongue and asking for help.
Once the receptionist at the health center figured out who he was, she called police and he was taken into custody at Ridgeway Shopping Center before noon on Friday...
(public defender Howard) Ehring also said the time to medically reattach Landon's tongue had long passed.
