Man bites mom in fight, cops say

A 19-year-old man has been arrested after police say he bit his mother in the face.

The Jackson Citizen Patriot reports a 39-year-old Jackson woman was hospitalized Wednesday after her son bit her cheek. Police say the man bit her during a dispute and then fled the home.

He later returned and was arrested on charges of maiming, being a minor in possession of alcohol and a bond violation. The woman’s injury was not life-threatening.
