Miles Rea Batson, 39, of Centerville, Va., is currently being held in the jail on $51,000 bond for second degree assault.
According to the Morgan County Sheriff, Batson was arrested Tuesday for public intoxication by Hartselle police and transported to the jail.
While there, he became “disorderly and combative” with corrections officers, attempting to grab the genitals of one and ultimately biting an officer’s thumb. The officer was treated at Decatur Morgan Hospital for the bite, which broke the skin, the sheriff’s office said.
