A Florida man was arrested earlier this week after ripping a chunk out of a deputy's head during an EDM music festival on Sunday.
The Holmes County Sheriff's Office said on Facebook that one of its deputies was on foot patrol at the Sol Fest 2024 music and arts festival in Ponce De Leon, Fla., on Sunday evening when he was approached by James Michael Anderson.
Anderson, a volunteer at the festival venue, allegedly used several drugs, including PCP, LSD, ketamine, mushrooms and ecstasy, the sheriff's office said.

Anderson allegedly attacked the deputy, who has not been identified, and tried to grab his gun.
During the assault, Anderson tore off a piece of the deputy's head, according to the sheriff's office, which shared a graphic photo of the injury on Facebook.
The deputy attempted to use a Taser on Anderson, who was combative until several other deputies intervened and restrained him.
