More news on "Survivor" castaway Kelly Wiglesworth. Earlier it was reported that the Las Vegas resident, 23, was wanted in North Carolina on charges she used a stolen credit card. Now, reports USA Today, it's been revealed that she had been arrested in 1997 for biting her husband. Three weeks after the couple was reportedly married, Wiglesworth was arrested on battery domestic violence charges for biting her husband's nose and scratching him. Police say the fight between Wiglesworth and Jay Geary was over a lost set of keys. Geary did not pursue charges and the marriage was short-lived. CBS reportedly knew of her arrest and a network spokesperson said she didn't bite any people -- or rats -- on the island. There's been no comment from Wiglesworth, who is can still be seen as one of six remaining cast members on "Survivor."
