Woman bites woman in fight over dog

A 25-year-old Florida woman was arrested on Friday morning after biting her roommate when the two were arguing about a dog. Nicole E. Levine, of Naples, was charged with battery-intentionally causing bodily harm to another.

Naples police officers arrived shortly before 2 a.m. on Friday at the apartment Levine shares with her 23-year-old roommate. Officers say they found the 23-year-old woman, who said she began arguing with her roommate. Police say they observed a bite mark on the victim's left hand.



Police determined that Levine bit her roommate on the hand and also on her arms near the bicep. Officers determined the fight was over Levine's dog. The victim became angry with the dog, which she said "always" gets in the way.

So, the victim kicked the dog, which agitated Levine. As the fighting ensued, Levine bit her roommate. Levine was determined to be the aggressor in the fight so she was arrested, police said.

Let's hope the person who kicked the dog was charged with animal cruelty.

Probably not. Only human assaults are important, apparently. If the "victim" started the fight by kicking the dog, I'd say she was the aggressor.

The woman kicking the dog should have been arrested.
