She says he kept calling her "mama" and telling her everything would be OK. Coleman says that "with the little teeth I got, I bit him." Coleman says she ran out of the apartment and he locked himself inside. She called police from a neighbor's house. They arrested Fitzroy Morton on three felony charges. Jail records don't list a lawyer for him.

Coleman says she'll be more careful about opening her door now, adding she will open it with her Taser.
