University Official Allegedly Bites Man

Posted on: Wednesday, 15 March 2006, 18:00 CST

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Police charged a university official after he allegedly bit a man in the calf when the man stopped to help him after a car accident.

Robert E. Mays, 64, an associate dean at the University of Southern Indiana, was charged with battery and operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. He was released from Vanderburgh County jail on a $100 bond.

A telephone message seeking comment was left Wednesday at his home in Evansville.

Mays was driving on U.S. 41 in northern Evansville Tuesday night when he hit a vehicle in front of him, according to police reports. No one was injured in the wreck.

A passer-by who stopped to check on Mays tried to stop him from returning to his car. Mays then bent down and bit the man's calf, leaving a bruise and teeth marks, police said.

Police said Mays refused to take a breath test.

The university was not aware of the arrest and was not sure if Mays would be disciplined, said spokeswoman Sherrianne Standley. He has been at the school since 1973.
