ASU Police indicate that a total of six people were issued citations as a result of the wild melee, including one individual Nashaknik Allen Shontz, who was the one who allegedly bit off the tip of another individual's finger during the brawl. Shontz was arrested and booked with one charge of aggravated assault.
