Carolina Woman Denied Crack, Bites Ear

(Greenwood, South Carolina) A 43-year-old local woman, Marilyn Louise Middleton, couldn't convince her acquaintance to give her money to buy crack cocaine so she bit off a piece of his ear. Middleton has been charged with criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature.

Greenwood Police Officer Matthew Owen was dispatched to a residence about midnight Sunday.

Owen encountered the victim, a 55-year-old man whose left ear was bleeding profusely.

“The top part of his ear was missing and was consistent to an injury sustained from being bitten,” Owen reported.

The officer said blood was on the floor and “all over” the victim.

The victim told the officer that Middleton had been “looking for crack” and gotten into a fight with him, leading to her biting a chunk of his left ear off.

Middleton was booked into custody at the Greenwood County Detention Center.
