Man's nose bitten off in brawl at drive-thru
The Post and Courier
Thursday, July 10, 2008
JAMES ISLAND — A 38-year-old carpenter was jailed this week after police accused him of biting off most of a man's nose during a fight at the Burger King on Folly Road. A 32-year-old man was at the restaurant's drive-thru about 11 p.m. Tuesday when he noticed a white truck behind him with smoking tires, an incident report said. It said the truck then struck the man's vehicle. Both men got out and went to the ground in a fight, the report said. A witness told police that at one point he saw the truck driver rise up with his face covered in blood and that he spit out a piece of flesh. Charleston County sheriff's deputies observed that the truck driver had blood on his face but no wound, the incident report said. A piece of the man's nose was taken with him to Medical University Hospital, where he was last listed in fair condition, the report said. He was no longer at the hospital Wednesday, the hospital said. Gary Eastwood of Fleming Road is charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and remained at the Charleston County Detention Center on Wednesday night. His bond was set at $100,000. Eastwood told deputies he intentionally bit the man's nose off because he was in a "war," according to the report. It said that as a deputy was taking Eastwood to the jail, Eastwood graphically described the taste of blood.

The three of you are awful already. Lol
Channel 2 said that the Eastwood guy "bit off the man's nose", not a piece of his nose like the article said. So which is it? Eastwood would be the dude you'd allow to cut the line at a buffet, you mess around and he gnaws your damn ankle off!

Does it really matter if it was the whole nose or just a piece? Damn, someone bites off part of my nose and I'd be pissed off and confused....
I assume that he bit off to where the bone is, unless he has super-sized chompers that easily bite off bone...
Anywho... what a freak.
He hit the man's car and then bit off his nose? Dude was seriously having a bad day...
Don't mess with the rednecks, especially "war" crazy rednecks.

Just a piece of the nose Tammie... from the tip to the high booger line.
It was an open and shut case as the attacker still had a couple of nose hairs stuck in his teeth....

Well the good news is that Sweet Thang can find a man that she is compatible with. He bites off noses and she will smear the blood on the walls. A match made in Heaven!

You people need to get a life! What if you were the guy who was injured. I came on here looking for an intellectual discussion regarding this incident. Instead I see a bunch of immature people who have nothing better to do with their time.
Grow up!

abr, if you are looking for intellectual conversation, you have certainly come to the wrong place. The P&C does not offer anything of the such.

abr29483, a man at a drive through window at a Burger King rear ended the guy in front of him and then got in to a fight with him and then bit off his nose, all because he was "fighting a war". Just what was it about this story that you wanted to discuss on an intellectual level???
Would you also like to have an intellectual discussion about last night's episode of Reno 911?
Better things to do with my time? How many chances in life do you get to take the Burger King jingle and apply it to a guy getting his nose bit off? Not many! I think I my time was well spent :)
The guy that was injured is not reading this stuff... he nose better :)
FYI, I am not immature. My humor is, but I am not :)

Cold Beer is it? Do what you will with your time. I'm sure you and your buddies are getting a kick out of this one. While my friend (yes my personal friend) is sitting at home with NO NOSE. Bitten off by a certifiable nut job.
I thought you all would be discussing how this guy should be evaluated before he is released from jail or maybe offer your sympathies to this young man and this tragic accident.
I was wrong!

Abr, it's very unfortunate what happened to your friend. It's jacked up that he had to encounter this nutjob while he was just trying to get a meal. No one is intentionally making fun of your friend, it's the idiot he encountered. I honestly hope he makes a speedy recovery and that Eastwood guy gets a one way trip to 67 President Street.

Ok so he won't be pulling Santa's sleigh this year. Not the end of the world.
Maybe if both of them did not get their nose out of joint this could have been avoided.
I guess we just don’t nose no better not to make jokes about this.

The guy is lucky he did not get in to a tangle with Jesse Jackson. Jesse would have cut his nuttss off.

abr29483, FYI... no one was picking on your friend. Everyone was making fun of the crazy guy... until you stuck your nose in to the conversation with your greater than thou post...
Any "intellectual conversation" about this article would have consisted of 1) The crazy dude needs to be locked up, 2) Hope the other guy recovers and 3) That would suck to be attacked that way...
Beyond that, there isn't much to say. You'd have had a one post "intellectual conversation". You have to admit though... that the story lends itself nicely to humorous remarks.
Hopefully your friend will be able to fully recover from this and look back and laugh at it... without blowing snot down his upper lip...

What if it had been a woman driving the vehicle that was hit? He might have killed her. (Not that most women would've jumped out spoiling for a fight, but I can picture him dragging her through the window.) This guy either has serious PTSD, roid rage or meth madness. Something in the milk ain't clean. To the victim, I hope you are able to heal soon!

We should all be concerned that a crazy man like this was even on the streets. Sounds like something straight from a horror movie! My heart goes out to the victim who was at the wrong place at the wrong time...a victim whose life is forever changed. One who will need many surgeries, I'm sure. As for the jokes, it would suck if it happened to someone in your family...or you. This crazy man HAD to be on some major drugs!

Stories like this make me think Mr.s Smith and Wesson need to be at my side at the least sign of trouble. If I'm going to spend hours (and thousands of dollars) in surgery and weeks in recuperation, losing all that time from work, I might come out better spending hours in jail, thousands on bail, and working until my Grand Jury arraignment.

Wow - see what happens when you constantly have war happening in a country? The unintelligent and/or uncultured people bite each others' noses off in a fast-food drive thru because they are in a "war."
I'm sure this is a guy who favors the death penalty, so I say deliver poetic justice.
