A Nevada woman broke into a dentist’s office, stole money and pulled 13 teeth from an unconscious patient on two separate occasions, according to Washoe County police.
Deputies allege that Laurel Eich – who is not a dentist – broke into a dental office where she claimed she had formerly worked.
Eich allegedly stole $22,861 in cash and checks during the May 3 break-in, the Washoe County Sheriff's Office said in a press release. Meanwhile, the tooth extraction occurred on a different date than the break-in, Eich told detectives. She also admitted to using anesthetic disposed of by the office, police said.

Eich, a resident of Reno, allegedly performed the extractions "on her own time," the Daily Mail reported.
