VIENNA, Ga. - A man has been charged with a felony for allegedly biting off a portion of a Vienna police officer’s finger during a scuffle.
Frankie Almond Jr., was arrested and charged with aggravated battery upon a police officer after he bit off part of the middle finger of Vienna Police Officer Joseph Peavy in a scuffle on Wednesday, police said.
The altercation happened after Peavy and Officer George Royal were dispatched to a disturbance just after midnight Wednesday. The officers tried to subdue the partially clothed Almond when police say he became violent.
Almond bit his father on the leg and attempted to bite Royal on the leg when Peavy grabbed him, according to a police report.
Almond then bit the right middle finger of Peavy, severing it at the first joint and doctors could not reattach the severed portion of the finger, Police Chief David Musselwhite said in the report.
