Two Florida women have been apprehended following a violent altercationa few weeks back that culminated in one woman biting off part of the other’s ear, according to local law enforcement. Dixie Stiles, 18, is facing charges of battery, while Macy Regan, 23, is charged with felony battery causing bodily harm, as announced by the Bay County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday.
The incident occurred when deputies were called to an assault and battery incident at a residence on Olokee Street in Callaway. Upon investigation, it was discovered that an unsupervised party was being held by minors at a nearby house. The fight broke out just after midnight, involving several men in the yard of the house where the party was taking place.
Regan was attempting to leave the scene and return to her home when she was confronted by Stiles. Stiles accused Regan of theft, alleging she had stolen alcohol and vape pens. The situation escalated when Regan reportedly produced a 9mm handgun from her waistband. Stiles reacted by pushing the firearm away, leading to a physical altercation.
During the ensuing fight, Regan bit off the top of Stiles’ ear, according to the authorities. The ear could not be reattached, and multiple other injuries, including bruises and lacerations, were sustained during the altercation, the sheriff’s office reported.
