MOUNDSVILLE, W.Va. (AP) -- It took a taser gun to subdue a man accused of biting off part of a man's nose and attempting to gouge out his eyeball during a bar fight. Plastic surgeons grafted skin to repair Edgar D. Hellar's nose, according to the Marshall County Sheriff's Department.
Hellar's cornea also was scratched when his attacker tried to stick a finger behind Hellar's eye during the fight at the Travelers bar in Marshall County.
The Marshall County Sheriff's Department charged Michael Brant Tustin, 34, of Cameron, with felony malicious assault on Tuesday.
Deputy J.A. Matthews said that when he arrived at the bar last week, he saw a man on top of Hellar beating him. After ordering the attacker to stop Matthews said he used a taser gun to force him to comply.
No hearing date has been set, according to the magistrate clerk's office.
