Now Hear This

When Kenneth Thompson, 26, arrived at his home in Port St. Lucie, Fla., he was drunk, his roommate says. She said she was in the kitchen with a man, and Thompson and the man got into a fight because Thompson thought the man was trying to “get into [her] pants.” During the fight, Thompson admitted “he bit down and twisted his teeth until a piece of [the victim’s] ear came off.” He spit the piece into a coffee cup “because there was creamer in it,” and then put it in the refrigerator.
