Arrest in New York 'denture heist'

NEW YORK Staten Island resident Joseph Nativo concedes he made the denture demand during an argument over money.

But he denies it was a theft; Nativo says he paid for them in the first place. He also says no gun was involved.

Nativo is due back in court July 1. He was arrested Monday on a charge of first-degree robbery.

Says the defendant: "We yelled and we argued...But in the end, those teeth belonged to me."
