Authorities were dispatched to an apartment building around 8:45 p.m. Sunday in the 100 block of Crosstown Boulevard in Chaska. Upon arrival, they found a woman cowering in the corner of the lobby, covered in blood. The woman told police her boyfriend, identified as 51-year-old Michael Anthony Trudeau, came over earlier that day and had been drinking vodka most of the afternoon...
The charges state Trudeau grabbed an umbrella and tried to shove it into the woman's mouth and down her throat. While he was doing this, the woman said she bit down on his finger. That's when Trudeau allegedly said, "I'll show you how to bite," and then leaned down and bit a portion of the woman's ear off. He then spit out the ear in front of her and repeatedly told her she was going to die...
Trudeau has been charged with first-degree assault, terroristic threats and animal cruelty. He was previously convicted of animal torture and domestic assault by strangulation.
