Man who bit off part of fellow mourner’s nose at drunken wake sentenced to jail
PICTOU, N.S. — A Nova Scotia man who bit off part of a fellow mourner’s nose in a drunken brawl at a wake has been sentenced to six months in jail.
Randall Edwin MacLean was drunk when he arrived at the 2014 wake for his old friend Howard Miller at a house in downtown Pictou, N.S. — but he wasn’t the only one.
Judge Del Atwood said almost everyone present was inebriated — and as will happen sometimes when a group of people have had too much to drink, a disagreement turned into a heated brawl.
MacLean was convicted of aggravated assault last October.
