Cause, meet effect: Man bites off cousin's earlobe in fight over music

It's hard to pull off a good Mike Tyson impression, but Emilio Mendoza did just that when he reportedly bit off a chunk of his cousin's earlobe during a fight. Ruiz Clemente-Perez told the cops that he asked Mendoza to turn his loud music down, but instead of opting for a lower volume or earbuds, Mendoza punched him in the head. The two men had a violent fistfight that seems to have ended when Mendoza chewed off — and swallowed — Clemente-Perez's earlobe. The Connecticut cops confirmed that, yup, he was definitely missing part of his ear, along with having a broken nose and fractured eye socket. Mendoza's injuries aren't known, but he was hit with a first-degree assault charge and $100,000 bail. [Source]
