A man was arrested after allegedly biting a fellow bar patron on the finger during a fight at a restaurant in Monroe. Police said he told officers that someone touched his girlfriend inappropriately, so he slammed his pool cue over the table and lunged toward him, only to be brought down to the floor by other patrons. He said he didn't know what happened because he was being taken down, but knew he bit someone, according to police.
