Queens, NY - Man Gets 7 Years Prison For Biting Cop's Pinkie Finger

Queens, NY - A man convicted of biting a police officer's pinkie finger was sentenced to seven years in prison. Roderick McClain was convicted of assault and resisting arrest in a struggle with two plainclothes officers in April 2005.

The officers had been responding to a report of a livery cab robbery when they saw McClain walking with two large bags and got out of their unmarked car to speak to him. McClain, now 41, dropped the bags and punched one of the officers in the face. When the second officer tried to handcuff him, McClain wildly flailed his arms and bit the officer's pinkie finger.
