Yeetle Box - It Was a Dark and Starry Night

Two Ogden, Utah neighbors got into a fight after a minor league baseball game that ended with one them biting off a part of the other's ear.

The two men had returned home from the Ogden Raptors baseball game late Wednesday when one man apparently offended the other with a comment. Witnesses report the offensive comment sound somewhat like, "The Raptors' pitcher sucks."

Whatever it was, and we will never know for certain, the comment was offensive enough that the offended man responded by striking the other in the face several times and then clamping down on his ear with his teeth and pulling back with enough force to rip off a part of the ear.

The man was booked into the Weber County Jail and is facing charges of assault causing mayhem, assault of an officer, possession of marijuana, intoxication and resisting arrest. The arresting officer left holding his ear in a bloody rag.

Henry Van Gogh, the one whose ear was bitten, is in good health, except for his ear being bitten off. The other man, Charles Van Gogh, the man who bit the ear and was arrested for doing so, had no comment.

The Van Gogh's are not related.
