Mississippi golfer Mark Wells has been charged with felony mayhem and could face up to seven years in prison if convicted for biting off another man’s nose in a feud over a game.
The NYP got the details;
A Mississippi man bit another man’s nose off in a fit of rage over a round of golf they played together, authorities said.
Mark Wells, 51, allegedly sunk his teeth into the victim’s nose in a casino parking lot Monday night and fled the scene in a Tesla before turning himself into police two days later.
Wells, the victim and others had been arguing about a golf round they played at Bridges Golf Course, next door to the casino, earlier in the day, according to Bay St. Louis police.
The men continued quarreling over the round throughout the day until it escalated in the parking lot of the Hollywood Casino around 9:30 p.m. and Wells, of Biloxi, allegedly chomped on the man’s face.
His alleged bizarre and horrific attack left the man’s face disfigured, police said.
Wells was booked into the Hancock County jail after turning himself in Wednesday morning. He was released shortly after after paying 10% down of a $50,000 bond himself, local station WXXV-25 reported.
Was Wells drug tested? This seems like a very extreme thing to do over a golf game. The only thing I can think is there was a lot of money involved, and someone was cheating. My other theory is the man was sleeping with Wells’ wife. You don’t bite off a man’s nose because he is better than you at golf. Something else had to happen between these guys, which is being covered up. Unless Wells has a Hannibal Lector-style fetish, I believe there is much more to this story, and someone needs to dig deeper.
