No, Dr. Joseph Yoste did not stab someone with a syringe full of Novocaine.
In fact, we have learned that the felony charge for aggravated assault with a dedly weapon aren't related to his professional practice at all.

From what we've been able to ascertain, the charges lodged against Yoste by the Brownsville Police Dept. stem from a chance encounter October 22 at the 7-11 Exxon convenience store at Boca Chica and Palm boulevards a few weeks ago with none other than Robert "Capt. Bob" Sanchez.
It seems that as Sanchez was entering the store to pay for gasoline, Yoste was exiting and pushed him in the chest daring him to hit him. Yoste then throws the first punch at the Captain Bob returns a flurry of punches in defense, setting up for more.
At that moment, witnesses said – and store surveillance cameras show – that Yoste pulled out a four-inch pocket knife and lunged as if to stab Sanchez, who sees the knife and maneuvers away quickly to avoid the blade. The Capt., knowing the limitations of human flesh against sharpened steel, made for the hills.
There has been bad blood between the two over their relationship with a certain woman who has payed a role in both their lives. Words were exchanged, the situation became heated, and – according to witnesses and the store's surveillance cameras – Yoste threw the first punch and a fisticuffs ensued. Local folks who know him say Yoste is no shrinking violet and can be downright cantenkerous. Ditto for the Capt.
Yoste noticed there are half a dozen witnesses watching and entered his red Honda vehicle and burned rubber to leave the area running several red lights heading east on Boca Chica Blvd.
However, when the police arrived, they took a statement from Sanchez and then asked the store to allow them to look at their surveillance video.
Sanchez supporters say this is not the fist encounter between the two. They say that in another instsance, only a car window saved Sanchez – who was in the car with a companion – from being stuck by a knife weilded by Yoste.
The result of the Oct. 22 event was that an arrest warrant was issued against Yoste which was served yesterday and he was duly booked and his mug taken at the cop shop. Where will the outpouring of the passion end? We'll keep you posted.
