Woman bites off friend’s ear in violent attack, claims she was playing a wolf
(WDIV/CNN) – A Michigan woman accused of biting off her friend’s ear in a violent attack told police she was playing a wolf and her victim a vampire.
The startling details emerged during Allison Thompson Weaver’s preliminary court hearing on Tuesday.
Police found Weaver, 44, and her 48-year-old friend partially nude and covered in blood on Sept. 17 at an apartment complex in Rochester Hills, WDIV reported.
A neighbor called police after hearing the women fighting and someone screaming for help, according to court documents.
Police said the 48-year-old victim had several bite marks on her face, and her left ear had been bitten off.
“She had a partially detached ear, puncture wounds from nails and bruising around her neck and arms,” said Sgt. Jason Dalbec, of the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office. “This is very unusual. This is one of those cases that will be once in a lifetime for deputies.”
A deputy who responded to the scene said Weaver claimed it was a consensual sex act.
“Ms. Weaver told me that they were having consensual sex and that (the victim) was a vampire and that Ms. Weaver was the wolf,” Hopkins said.
Investigators believe Weaver was under the influence during the time of the attack.
The victim, whose identity remains undisclosed, testified in court that she’s known Weaver for about 12 years. She said she invited Weaver to her home on Sept. 16, and Weaver brought an opened bottle of vodka and two pouches of pre-mixed rum. She also claims Weaver gave her a hug and a kiss, which caught her off guard.
“The fact that she just came straight out with a big kiss was a little out of character, I would say, for seeing someone right away,” the victim said.
She said they sat on the couch and talked for hours, before the victim went to bed. She said Weaver stayed on the couch. Moments after falling asleep, the victim said she woke up startled.
“(I remember) jumping off my bed and seeing Allison on all fours on my bed and me standing there and she was on all fours giving me a really scary look,” the victim said. “I was, like, ‘Allison, Allison, what are you doing?’ She just kept giving me this look with her head going back and forth. I was, like, ‘What are you doing?’ She just lunged at me, and she just started strangling me.”
The victim said Weaver was nude and making animal-like movements with her head and her teeth. At one point, the victim claims she lost consciousness.
“My neck was so swollen my chin couldn’t meet my chest and I lost some kind of consciousness during this,” she said. “The next thing I remember is trying to get away and hearing her, as clear as day, with no reflection in her tone, just saying, ‘Sorry … but you’re gonna have to die today.'”
“I just started screaming bloody murder and banging on the floor, (saying), ‘No, no, no. I can’t believe I’m going to die like this. Someone come and please help,” she continued.
The victim said she and Weaver had kissed years ago, but she denied having a consensual sexual relationship with her. She also denied giving Weaver permission to touch her the night of the attack.
Weaver was charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct, assault with intent to do great bodily harm and assault with intent to main. A fourth charge of assault by strangulation was added during the preliminary examination on Tuesday.
