Ohio court rules man must be reimbursed for dentures lost during fight

Before a fight in August 2011, Jeffrey Childers took out his dentures – a set he had had for 20 years. He took a beating and ended up unconscious.

By the time the fight was done and police arrived, the dentures were gone. Childers, who was the victim of an assault, was initially awarded $319 for medical expenses but in March 2014 Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine rejected a request for money to cover the dentures and other items due to the “lack of supporting documentation.”
