Man jailed for biting nose at friend’s wake

A Nova Scotia man who bit off part of a fellow mourner’s nose in a drunken brawl at a wake has been sentenced to six months in jail. Randall Edwin MacLean was drunk when he arrived at the 2014 wake for an old friend at a house in downtown Pictou, N.S. — but he wasn’t the only one.

Judge Del Atwood said almost everyone present was inebriated, and a disagreement turned into a heated brawl. MacLean was convicted of aggravated assault last October. Star staff, wire services
