Baby-Faced Spring Breaker Accused of Biting Off Man’s Ear in Florida St. Patrick’s Day Brawl

A Florida spring breaker is facing serious legal trouble after allegedly biting off another man's ear during a St. Paddy's Day brawl. This incident, reminiscent of Mike Tyson's infamous ear-biting moment in 1997, has left many shocked.

Jack Turner, an 18-year-old, was taken into custody in Ft. Myers Beach after a video surfaced showing him tackling his acquaintance, Juwan Black, to the ground around 5 p.m. on Monday. According to police reports, Turner was seen holding Black's face in the sand while delivering a flurry of punches from behind.

Witnesses claim that Turner hurled racial slurs at Black before launching his attack. Once Black was down, Turner allegedly yanked his hair, lifted his head, and bit down on his ear, resulting in what authorities described as “traumatic auricular amputation.”

The shocking assault was captured on video by a bystander, who later provided the footage to law enforcement. Another bystander intervened to break up the fight, but the damage was already done.

While the exact cause of the altercation remains unclear, police confirmed that Turner and Black were acquaintances. Following the incident, Black was transported to a hospital for medical treatment, while Turner was booked into the Lee County Jail.

He now faces charges of felony battery. Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno expressed his strong stance against violence, stating, “Sheriff Carmine Marceno has ZERO tolerance for violence of any kind! Fort Myers Beach will continue to remain safe for all visitors and residents of Lee County!”
