A middle school teacher is accused of biting off part of a man's ear during a confrontation at a St. Paul diner.
Prosecutors say Susan Mukuhi Mwarabu, 30, was drunk when she attacked the man at the Uptowner about 4 a.m. Sunday.
A criminal complaint says the 33-year-old man was eating with friends when one made a comment about one of the women with Mwarabu.
It says she approached the group of men, licked the victim's ear, then bit off part of it.
