A Villager was arrested after biting the pointed finger of her live-in man friend.

Lady Lake police were called at 6:30 p.m. Thursday to 537 St. Andrew’s Blvd. on the Historic Side of The Villages where 55-year-old Paula Kay Helm had been involved in an altercation with her boyfriend.

The Indiana native told police that she and her boyfriend had been drinking when he “bumped” her and caused her to fall, according to an arrest report.

Police found the man at a nearby park. He had blood on his clothing and flowing from his injured finger. He said Helm bit his “left pointer finger and would not let go.” He said he pushed her to get her to release his finger.

The two had been residing together in the home for the past several weeks.

Helm was arrested on a charge of battery and booked at the Lake County Jail on $2,000 bond.

Helm was intoxicated last year when she arrested after attempting to barge into a home.
