According to an arrest report, troopers were dispatched after 911 dispatchers in Lake Worth reported a domestic incident in Broward County. Troopers were told Baker and her husband had gone to West Boca Medical Center in Boca Raton after the incident.<\/p>\n
Baker initially called 911 and reported that her husband had struck her, the report states. <\/p>\n
When troopers spoke with her husband, they said he was wearing a white bandage around his head and had streaks of what appeared to be blood extending down the right side of his neck and onto his shirt and shorts.<\/p>\n
The man told troopers he and his wife were coming home from a boat party in the Fort Lauderdale Port Marina area when, while heading northbound on I-95 approaching Hillsboro Boulevard, he and Baker began arguing about \u201cpast problems within their relationship,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n
The report states Baker called her husband derogatory names, including a \u201cf–got.\u201d <\/p>\n
The husband then told Baker, \u201cWho is the one with the felony?\u201d before claiming Baker slapped him while he was driving, according to the report.<\/p>\n
About two minutes after the first strike, Baker grabbed his face with both hands and \u201cintentionally bit into the right side of his ear, tearing off a portion of his ear,\u201d the report states.<\/p>\n
The husband told troopers he never touched Baker during the altercation.<\/p>\n
His children, 1 and 7, were also in the vehicle at the time, according to the report.<\/p>\n
After biting off the portion of his ear, Baker laughed and did not \u201cinitially appear to take the severity of his injury seriously,\u201d the report states.<\/p>\n
Friends of the victim picked up his kids and transported them to a home for their safety, according to the report. <\/p>\n
Jail records show Baker is facing one count each of aggravated battery causing bodily harm or disability and two counts of child neglect without great bodily harm.<\/p>\n
She was no longer listed in the Broward County jail\u2019s online database as of Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n
