If Arrested, Keep Your Mouth Shut: Nashville Police Auction Off Drug Dealer’s Gold Teeth

It is often said that the government would take the gold out of your teeth if allowed. Well, the Metro Police of Nashville is doing precisely that — putting the gem encrusted “grills” of a drug dealer out for bids.

The department put the item on its eBid site as “one set of custom made teeth grills.”

These grills are the brainchild of Eddie “the Iceman” Plein, the New York dentist, who who charges a minimum of $100 per tooth for his made-to-order grills.

You can be the cat’s meow in court with grills displaying six 3mm genuine blue topaz stones and two 3mm genuine citrine stones inlaid in 10K yellow gold. (My court grills have “Thirty Percent” on top and “Plus Costs” on the bottom in reference to my contingency fee rate). Since these are custom-made grills, people may need to try them on to guarantee a proper fit at the auction.

Note to self: if arrested in Nashville, keep your mouth shut.
