A man has been arrested after he is alleged to have bitten off his girlfriend’s ear and shoved an umbrella down her throat.

Michael Trudeau, 51, is also accused of setting his victim’s cat on fire and beheading it with a pair of scissors as he tried to ‘prove a point’.

She managed to escape and was found by police in the lobby of her building in Chaska, Minnesota, covered in blood and shaking.

Describing the alleged assault, the 42-year-old woman told police that they were arguing about their relationship and she was put in a headlock.


According to Fox 9 he choked her until she passed out and he tried to push the umbrella in her mouth.

She came round and bit his finger which was when he reacted by biting off part of her ear.

The incident involving the cat happened about three weeks earlier.

A police report said that the cat was set on fire. It continues: ‘When the cat was extinguished, [Trudeau] choked the cat with both hands until it died.

‘After the cat was dead, the defendant went into the kitchen and used a pair of kitchen scissors to dismember the cat by cutting its head off of its body.’

Trudeau is being held charged with first-degree assault, terroristic threats, and mistreatment of animals.
