Man Suspected of Huffing Bites Police Officer

Via the Sun Herald in Mississippi:

Police were called to a hotel in Moss Point after hotel officials requested backup while dismissing a man who lived and worked at the hotel. According to reports, the man became extremely agitated while he was escorted from the property. He then “bit one of the officers and sent him to the hospital.”

The Police Chief suspects that the man had been huffing some sort of chemical prior to the incident, because officers noticed “a very heavy odor of lacquer” in the man’s room.

The man was arrested for assault of a police officer and resisting arrest. The police officer he bit was treated and released from the hospital.
