(There should be a "no biting" rule at wedding receptions.)
Another Wedding Guest Loses Digit in Fight
PERRY TOWNSHIP, Mich. - For the second time in two years, a wedding reception guest in Shiawassee County has lost part of a finger during a fight.
This time, Philip L. Michalek, of Morrice, is accused of biting off the tip of another man's thumb during a scuffle Saturday night outside the Perry Township Hall, police said.
Michalek, 26, was arraigned Monday on a charge of assault with intent to do great bodily harm and jailed with bond set at $10,000. He could face 10 years in prison if convicted.
Police said Michalek was scuffling with Ryan Dickey, 23, of Grand Ledge, in the parking lot when the incident occurred.
Dickey was taken to a Lansing hospital, but doctors could not reattach the severed part of his thumb, police and prosecutors said. He has since been released from the hospital.
State police Detective Sgt. Mark Pendergraff said Michalek and Dickey had a dispute and went to the parking lot. "They got into a scuffle, and the victim's thumb ended up in the suspect's mouth," he told The Flint Journal.
In August 2003, a wedding guest was arrested after biting off part of a man's finger, biting the thumb of the bridegroom and knocking down the bridegroom's mother during a fracas involving several people outside a wedding hall in Corunna.
In that case, the guest pleaded no contest to assault and battery and felonious assault and was sentenced to two to four years in prison.
