APPLETON — A Grand Chute woman who chased a burglar and bit his hand got a big enough piece of him to provide a DNA match that led to his arrest, authorities say.
Scott D. Cross, 23, 620 W. Fourth St., No. 1, Appleton, was charged Monday in Outagamie County Court with burglary and bail jumping, both as a repeat offender.He was jailed on a $10,000 cash bond with a preliminary hearing set for April 23.On Feb. 26, a Grand Chute woman told police she was awakened when someone entered her Eighth Street residence. She found someone standing in her hallway and yelled out "What are you doing?"Cross then ran from the residence with the 39-year-old woman in close pursuit. She tackled Cross, and when he put his hand near her face, she bit down on his finger, according to the criminal complaint.She told police she bit him so hard it pushed one of her teeth outward.Police collected enough blood and skin from her mouth to process a DNA sample, which led to Cross.Scott, when interviewed by police, said he was drunk and went into the woman's house to steal food.
