Taylor has a history of arrests in the county and currently has two outstanding warrants. Authorities describe him as heavily tattooed, including a prominent tattoo on his torso containing a derogatory remark about the police. Investigators urge the public to provide any information about Taylor&#8217;s whereabouts. The article also notes that ear-biting attacks have occurred in other locations recently, highlighting incidents in Nebraska and New York involving similar assaults.  <\/p>\n<div id=\"ld-4686-3758\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:14832835450050406,size:[0, 0],id:\"ld-4686-3758\"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.decide.dev\/_js\/ajs.js\";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,\"script\",\"ld-ajs\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>6The Kaufman County Sheriff&rsquo;s Office is still searching for a Texas home invader who allegedly bit off a victim&rsquo;s earlobe last week.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators said the alleged perpetrator, 39-year-old Joshua Taylor, is likely still in Kaufman County, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox4news.com\/news\/trackdown-man-wanted-aggravated-assault-after-biting-victims-ear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KDFW-TV<\/a> in Dallas reported Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>The incident happened in the early hours of one Sunday morning earlier this month, when Taylor reportedly entered the home of a 63-year-old man without permission.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor then allegedly beat the man.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In the process of the assault, he bit his left earlobe, biting off a large portion of his earlobe,&rdquo;
