Newtown Man Sentenced to Prison for Ear Biting Attack

A Newtown man will serve three to six years in prison for biting another man’s ear off during a fight at a Newtown Township bar in March.

The Bucks County Courier Times reports that James W. Worthington, 24, was sentenced Tuesday for the incident that occurred at the Green Parrot on March 18.

Authorities say Worthington attacked and bit another bar patron following a St. Patrick’s Day celebration at the establishment.

A portion of victim’s right ear, which police said was “violently torn from his body,” was found in the parking lot of the bar after the altercation. In addition to losing his ear, which police say is “irreparably damaged,” the victim, a 28-year-old Northampton man, sustained human bites to his face and neck.

Worthington’s jail sentence includes punishment for two other incidents, including an assault of a former girlfriend and possession of anabolic steroids, according to the Courier Times.
