A Mississippi man was arrested after being accused of biting another man's nose off after an argument over golf.

Mark Curtis Wells, 51, was charged with felony mayhem and can face up to seven years behind bars if convicted, according to the Bay St. Louis Police Department.

The incident happened earlier this week, on Nov. 28, at Hollywood Casino in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Police said when officers arrived at the scene, they found a man "with a disfiguring facial injury."

The attack stemmed from a verbal confrontation between Wells and the unidentified victim at a nearby golf course, according to police.

"The argument continued throughout the day amongst several of the gold participants until it culminated in the casino parking lot," police said. "Mark Wells fled the scene in a dark-colored Tesla."
