ORLANDO, Fla. -- A high school student was arrested for biting off part of a classmate's ear during a fight that started after he was cut off while driving into the school's entrance.
Jonattan Robles, 18, was charged Wednesday with aggravated battery, aggravated assault and possession of a weapon on school property. The ear of 17-year-old classmate David Roshak was reattached at a hospital.
The altercation began when two cars driven by friends of Roshak cut off Robles as he tried to turn into the entrance to Timber Creek High School. Roshak, who was a passenger in one of the cars, exchanged angry words with Robles.
Robles threatened Roshak and his friends with a black expandable baton after they got out of their cars, school resource officer Daniel Combs wrote in an incident report for the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
The friends told Robles to put away the baton, which he did, and fight Roshak without a weapon. Witness statements vary on who started the fight, but the teens ended up on the ground with Robles placing Roshak in a headlock, the report said.
Robles then bit about three-quarters of Roshak's left ear off, according to the report.
But Robles told a different story Thursday night. He said he feared for his life and that Roshak and his friends began hitting him without provocation after he returned the baton to the car.
