Marseilles man charged with biting officer

A Marseilles man was already in enough trouble, but he piled it on after using his teeth.

Jeffrey Smith was pulled over for a traffic stop shortly before midnight Friday on Route 71 near Interstate 80. He was arrested for driving while license revoked, unlawful possession of a controlled substance and aggravated battery of a peace officer.

Smith was taken to the La Salle County Jail, where he started fighting with deputies and even bit one of them. He was charged with two additional aggravated battery charges after the scuffle.

His bond will be set today.
