Florida- When his head hurt so badly Monday morning that a Jacksonville man walked to the hospital, doctors said he had a good reason to be there.

Wendell Howard Coleman, 47, had a bullet in his tongue.

Coleman told police he had gotten into a dispute with a woman in a West Union Street parking lot about 2:30 that morning and she stuck a pistol barrel in his mouth. He said he heard the gun go off.

Then he went home to sleep, according to a police report. When he woke up, Coleman's head hurt so he walked more than a dozen blocks to Shands Jacksonville.

According to a police report, Coleman's lip was swollen and he appeared to have powder burns. He had difficulty speaking, the report said.

It didn't say what was done with the bullet.
