HOUMA, La. --A mail carrier got bitten -- by a barking man, police said.

Mark D. Plumb, 20, of Butler, Mo., was arrested and charged with simple battery Wednesday after he ran barking from a house and bit the letter carrier on the shoulder, police spokesman Lt. Todd Duplantis said.

Plumb said he bit the carrier as a joke, and has no history of criminal activity or mental illness, police said.

Plumb was released from the Terrebonne Parish jail after posting $165 bond.

1. I guess he has history of mental illness now...

"A joke"... to act like a maniac and BITE a stranger. I've heard that excuse for a LOT of things, but never for biting someone. :crazy:

What some people will do for a thrill.
