A Meal of Noodles Prompts Biting Attack in Athens

An Athens Clarke County Police officer met with a female UGA student at Athens Regional Medical Center earlier this week. The woman told the officer that Zhenni Guo, 21, had punched her in the shoulder and bitten her on the arm during a disagreement. The graduate student was treated for the bite wounds and Guo was arrested and charged with battery.

Police believe the incident began with an argument in a Riverbend Parkway apartment that started when Guo didn’t like food the student had served, according to a story in the Athens Banner Herald. Guo didn’t want to eat noodles, which was all the roommate had.

When the UGA student asked Guo to leave, Guo allegedly punched the woman in the shoulder, grabbed her arm and bit twice, the story says. The injured student then drove herself to the hospital.
