TAMPA — Deputies arrested a man they say bit a uniformed security guard at a nightclub early Sunday.

The incident happened just after midnight at Club Sensacion, 1450 Skipper Road, off Bearss Avenue near the University area.

It left the security guard with a bite mark on his right side and redness and bruising, according to an arrest affidavit. The affidavit did not explain what led to the incident.

The suspect later resisted arrest by pulling his arms away from a sheriff's deputy trying to handcuff him, the affidavit said.

Clemente Maldonado Barron, 30, of Tampa, faces charges of aggravated battery on a specified officer and resisting an officer without violence. He remained Sunday in the Hillsborough County Jail on $15,500 bail.
