MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) – Police in central Indiana say they arrested a groom after he allegedly sunk his teeth into his bride’s arm during a fight hours after their marriage.

The Star Press in Muncie reports that officers arrested 22-year-old Dillon Jess Lane after entering the couple’s apartment just before midnight Saturday on a domestic-disturbance call.

Police say the intoxicated Lane was biting his wife’s arms as they entered. He also was allegedly holding his sister-in-law. Police say both women were trying to get away from Lane.

The officer said the women’s clothes were covered in blood and broken furniture was strewn around the room. The newspaper reports the women suffered abrasions and bruises.

Lane was arrested on preliminary charges, including domestic battery. A name of a lawyer for Lane wasn’t immediately available.
