WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. (AP) -- A Wood County judge has sentenced a man to 10 years in prison on a mayhem charge for biting off part of a man's ear and lip in 2004.

The sentence Tuesday was three years longer than one Christopher Strupp, formerly of Hancock, received in 2005 for the same incident, but Strupp was given credit for about 3 1/2 years he has spent in custody.

The original sentence was thrown out when an appeals court ruled he should have been allowed to withdraw his guilty plea. A jury in December convicted the 26-year-old Strupp.

The criminal complaint said Strupp tried to date a woman but she didn't want a romantic relationship. When he saw her in a Wisconsin Rapids parking lot with another man, he broke their car window, beat the man, bit off part of his ear and bit his lower lip.
