TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man admits he attacked his wife’s lover and bit off part of the man’s ear after finding the pair in bed together.
Virgil Bates III told a judge in Toledo that he went home in June to find out if his wife was lying about breaking off an affair.
The 40-year-old Bates says he found them in bed and put his wife’s lover in a headlock. He told the judge the man bit his arm and that’s when he bit back.
Bates pleaded guilty to aggravated assault Monday.
