Both Kendrick and his mother had visible lacerations to the hands and fingers with apparent teeth mark imprints, according to the arresting officer. The woman's right index finger was nearly amputated, the officer said.

Police went to Tidwell's home and found him "covered in blood and severely beaten about the head, neck and face," the report states.

"Tidwell's right ear was amputated by what appeared to be a human bite, and other apparent teeth mark imprints were visible to the right side of his face," the officer said.

Tidwell was arrested for assault upon the female, whose name was redacted by police, and Tyler Kendrick. He is the woman's "live-in boyfriend," according to the report.

Kendrick, a Sallisaw resident, was taken into custody on one count of aggravated assault. He is being held on a $1,000 bond.
