A Waukee man was arrested midday Saturday after allegedly biting a woman’s hand in the course of an argument.
Bruce Eugene White, 55, of 799 Collins Dr., Waukee, was charged with first-offense domestic abuse assault-bodily injury or mental illness.
The incident began about 11:15 a.m. Saturday in the 700 block of Collins Drive, where officers of the Waukee Police Department responded to a report of a domestic disturbance.
The officers made contact with the victim, who said White “bit her hand” in the course of an argument, according to court records.
The officers observed on the victim “several marks on her left hand” that “resembled teeth-size marks and were bleeding,” according to court records.
White is held in the Dallas County Jail on a $1,000 cash or surety bond. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Oct. 6 in Dallas County District Court.
White was convicted of assault in 2003 in Marion County District Court.
*A criminal charge is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
