EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WISH) — A 43-year-old Evansville man, who was accused of assaulting three people in a domestic dispute, left a deputy with a deep bite wound, the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office said Sunday. Christopher Andrew was arrested on Saturday evening following a domestic dis turbance reported in the 1500 block of West Missouri Avenue. That’s an area with homes and industries just northeast of the West Maryland Street bridge over Pigeon Creek. An 11-year-old girl called 911 to report Andrew had struck her at her home, beat her father unconscious in an alley, and left another man in the residence with a bloody nose. Two other juveniles were in the home at the time. Medics treated the father at the scene. A news release from the sheriff’s office said, “During the arrest, Andrew violently resisted by repeatedly striking the deputy, biting him on the forearm and sustaining the bite for several seconds, Andrew ripped the deputy’s portable radio away and then threw it back at him. Both the deputy and an arriving EPD (Evansville Police Department) officer were able to subdue Andrew and take him into custody. The deputy sustained multiple scratches and a deep bite wound.” The release said the deputy was going to be OK. Andrew was medically cleared at Deaconess Midtown Hospital before Evansville police took him to the Vanderburgh County jail. The Vanderburgh County Prosecutor’s Office will determine what charges, if any, will be filed in the case. ...read more read less
