Police investigate fight over toilet

 Ann Arbor police said they are investigating an assault between roommates that stemmed from a clogged toilet.

Officers were called to the emergency room at the University of Michigan Medical Center Tuesday afternoon and encountered a 21-year-old Ann Arbor man who was being treated for a bite on his finger that drew blood, said Sgt. Richard Kinsey.

The man told police he had returned to his apartment at University Towers, 536 S. Forest Ave., Tuesday morning after being away for a few days and used the toilet, which overflowed. He left a note for his roommate to clean the mess.

When he returned later that afternoon, the roommate started an argument that led to the scuffle when he was bitten.
