Smith had been dropped off at the gas station by a relative. After the woman was unsuccessful at contacting family in Pensacola to pick her up, Ellis invited Smith to hang out with him at an abandoned Hooters restaurant until she found a ride.
Ellis eventually fell asleep in his motorized wheelchair. When he awoke, Smith was on top of him, police say.
Smith told Ellis she was a vampire and then bit his face and neck. She bit of chunks from his face and part of his lip.
The man was able to escape and fled to the gas station and called for help.
When police arrived, Ellis told them the Smith was at the vacant Hooters.
Police found Smith half naked and covered in blood. The woman was uninjured and told police she didn't remember what had happened.
Smith was arrested and charged with aggravated battery on an elderly person. Bail was set at $50,000.
Ellis required stitches after the attack.
