What would possess even a really drunk person to bite someone? This man sounds like he has more than just alcohol problems. It is scary to think that this man is a college DEAN. He should have been fired a long time ago with those other DUI arrests. This man doesn't have both oars in the water in order to be a fry cook at Wendy's, let alone the dean of a higher educational institution.
College dean accused of biting man agrees to plea
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — A college dean accused of biting a man who stopped to help him after a car accident has agreed to plead guilty to drunken driving and battery, prosecutors said.
Robert E. Mays, an associate dean at the University of Southern Indiana, is scheduled to appear June 21 before a Vanderburgh County judge, who will decide whether to accept the plea. Prosecutors said Mays, 64, will plead guilty to a felony charge of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated with a prior conviction and a misdemeanor battery for biting the man in the leg.
On March 13, Mays was driving when his car rear-ended another car. According to police reports, Mays got out and staggered into the street. A passer-by who saw Mays tried to prevent him from getting back inside his car, believing he was drunk. Mays then bent down and bit the man's calf, leaving a bruise and teeth marks, police said. When police arrived, Mays refused to take a breath test.
It wasn't the first run-in with police for Mays, who has been at the Evansville school since 1973. Court records show he pleaded guilty to drunken driving in August 1999 and June 1996. After the March accident, Mays was put on medical leave from USI. He told the court then that he intended to get treatment in a Jeffersonville facility.
