A Summerfield woman was arrested for battery after allegedly biting a woman in the face in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
A deputy responded to Oxford Downs, located at 17996 S U.S. Hwy. 301, Summerfield, for an alleged battery involving 50-year-old Nancy Jean Burdick at 3:10 a.m. Thursday, according to an arrest report from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
Upon arrival, he found Burdick standing in the middle of the parking lot. Security advised that she had gotten upset with another woman in the casino after a short altercation and bit her in the face. She then walked out of the building and got into two witnesses’ vehicle without permission. She also got out of the vehicle in an attempt to walk away before law enforcement showed up, the report said.
When asked her side of the story, Burdick stated she was punched in the vaginal area of her body, which caused her to bite the victim. The deputy tried to investigate this more, but she admitted this did not actually happen. She instead advised that she was “Facebook friends” with the victim and would not hurt her, instead giving her a kiss on the cheek, the report said…
