A drunk Wisconsin wedding guest bit a fellow attendee’s fingertip off after he was told to stop groping someone, cops say.
Nathan Landsee, 21, has been charged with aggravated battery and disorderly conduct over the incident at The Club at Lac La Belle in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin on Friday.
What happened?
Officers were called to the golf course over reports ‘someone had their fingertip bitten off’ and saw Landsee ‘was sitting on a couch with blood on his sleeve, which did not appear to be from him’, according to Fox5.
He lunged at a guest before he was pinned down to the ground by three others and bit the victim’s fingertip off, according to the criminal complaint.
One could see the bone
Around half an inch of the finger had been bitten off which left the bone exposed.
The violence allegedly broke out after Landsee was told to stop fondling another unidentified wedding guest.
Landsee appeared in Waukesha County court on Monday where a signature bond of $25,000 was set.
Witnesses told prosecutors that there were two incidents involving Landsee at the wedding which led to someone having their fingertip bitten off.
The ‘original incident that occurred was when the defendant had inappropriately touched another guest’, the complaint says.
Witnesses’ statement
People were visibly upset with Landsee which is when the ‘defendant began to yell and became very agitated’.
He is said to have been moved to another room which was closed off from the ballroom and ‘the bride and groom at the venue were trying to calm the defendant down, which led to the second incident,’ according to the criminal complaint.
‘The defendant began yelling loudly and was disorderly again,’ it said.
A second witness went into the room where Landsee was and ‘reached a point where they needed to ask the defendant to leave’.
But he allegedly ‘became very aggressive and continued to be loud’.
