Man arrested for ear/knife incident

From Des Moines;

Carol Olaf Erickson Jr., 59, reportedly sliced his roommate’s ear with a blade as his roommate tried to sleep.

The victim suffered a minor cut to his ear and refused to be taken to a hospital, police said.

A third roommate told police the two had bee arguing all day but Erickson couldn’t explain why he cut his roommate.

I'm guessing alcohol was involved here.
