Woman allegedly bit chunk of man's ear

BROKEN ARROW, Okla., Aug. 13 (UPI) -- Police in Oklahoma said they arrested a woman who allegedly bit off a chunk of a man's right earlobe during a fight.

Broken Arrow police said Lecia Cooley, 46, was the "dominant aggressor" in the fight at a home Saturday night and officers arrived to find the male victim had a "large portion of his right earlobe missing, bruising to his face consistent with a hard punch, and various lacerations from both the family dog and Ms. Cooley," KOTV, Tulsa, Okla., reported Monday.

The arresting officer said Cooley, who admitted to biting the man's ear, also had small puncture wounds that apparently came from the family dog.

Cooley was arrested on suspicion of maiming (mayhem).
