Have you ever been upset with your playing partner over not giving you a short putt? Probably. Have you ever bitten someone’s nose off for it? Probably not.

If you have, get help.

Mark Wells, 51, of Biloxi, Mississippi, got into an altercation with his playing mate after a round of golf and went on to bite the other man’s nose off in a casino parking lot later in the day.

Wells was charged with felony mayhem but walked out of jail within an hour of booking after paying 10 percent of his $50,000 bond, WXXV-TV reported.

According to WXXV-TV, the nose was not found at the scene. The victim was taken to the hospital.

According to the Biloxi Sun Herald, the 51-year-old faces up to seven years in prison if convicted.
