A Florida man was arrested earlier this week after allegedly biting off part of a lawmaker’s head at an EDM music festival on Sunday.
The Holmes County Sheriff’s Office posted on Facebook that one of its deputies was on foot patrol Sunday night at Sol Fest 2024, a music and arts festival in Ponce de Leon, Florida. He said he was approached by James Michael Anderson.
Anderson, who was volunteering at the festival, was reportedly high on multiple drugs, including PCP, LSD, ketamine, mushrooms and ecstasy, according to the sheriff’s office.

During the assault, Anderson bit part of the deputy’s head and shared graphic photos of the wound on Facebook, the sheriff’s office said.
