WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) Police in Wichita Falls apprehended a woman on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, following her alleged confession of biting off part of another woman’s thumb during a dispute last month.

Kambrasia Latina Janice Penigar, a 21-year-old resident of Wichita Falls, was taken to the Wichita County Jail, facing charges of aggravated assault resulting in serious bodily harm. As of the latest reports, she remains behind bars with a bond set at $100,000.

According to legal filings, officers from the Wichita Falls Police Department responded to a call at the Washington Village Apartments on October 12, 2025, to interview Penigar regarding an alleged assault incident.

The affidavit reveals that during the conversation with officers, Penigar claimed she had been carving sticks near the stairs outside the victim’s apartment when the victim emerged and commented on the debris.

Penigar reportedly informed police that the victim’s daughter overheard the argument and came downstairs, resulting in a physical altercation. She recounted that while another individual attempted to intervene, she and the victim’s daughter ended up entangled, each grabbing the other’s hair.

According to the affidavit, Penigar told police that the victim attempted to reach around everyone and hit her when the victim’s thumb ended up in her mouth. She told police that at that point, she bit the victim’s thumb off.

Police said they asked Penigar if she actually bit the victim’s thumb off. They said Penigar affirmed that she did and pointed to the blood on the ground.

Court documents show that police then made contact with the victim at United Regional. Officers spoke with the victim, who said she confronted Penigar about the mess, which led to a verbal argument. The victim said her daughter then came downstairs and got into an altercation with Penigar.

Officers said the victim told them that she attempted to pull her daughter away from Penigar while another bystander attempted to pull Penigar away. She said that while she was pulling her daughter away, her thumb went into Penigar’s mouth, and Penigar bit it off.

According to the affidavit, officers observed that the tip of the victim’s right thumb was missing just before the first knuckle. Police said the victim informed them that medical staff had advised that they would not be able to reattach the missing portion of her thumb.

The victim was eventually transported to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth for treatment.

According to court documents, another officer spoke with the victim about the incident. The victim told the officer that she’d had previous issues with Penigar leaving a mess and that on the day of the incident, she simply asked Penigar to clean up after herself. She said that was when Penigar became angry and began yelling at her.

The officer said the victim told them that the other female involved in the altercation was her sister rather than her daughter. The officer also said the victim alleged that Penigar put her mouth around the victim’s thumb.

The affidavit said the victim told police that after Penigar bit down on her thumb, she spat out the portion of her thumb and began laughing about biting her thumb off.

Court documents showed that police obtained medical records from both United Regional and John Peter Smith Hospital. Police said that both records indicated that surgeons were consulted at both facilities, but that the missing portion of the victim’s thumb could not be reattached.
