A Manitowoc man is facing charges after he allegedly spit on a police officer while being taken to jail for domestic violence.
The Manitowoc Police Department dispatched officers to a home in the 1300 block of South 19th Street at around 9:45 PM last night (February 16th) on a report that a man was beating his wife and threatening to stab people. The officers were informed that the man had gone to the Marathon Gas Station, and when they arrived, found his vehicle empty.
The 22-year-old man eventually showed up at his car and was acting aggressively. Officers had to deploy their TAZER in order to put handcuffs on him.
While being placed in the squad car, the man reportedly turned his head toward an officer and “aggressively spit” at an officer.
The man is now facing charges including Resisting an Officer, Discharge of Bodily Fluids at a Public Safety Worker, two counts of Disorderly Conduct, each with a Domestic Violence Enhancer, and four counts of Misdemeanor Bail Jumping.
