19-year-old Tiquan Winston was seen spitting on an officer, Anthony Campos, at the apartments on South 6th Street on July 12th. When officers arrived, they were directed to Winston. Once officers approached Winston, a woman in a car was heard saying, “Get away from me!” Officers got closer to the vehicle and observed Winston hanging halfway into the driver’s seat on top of the female who was yelling. Winston was instructed multiple times to get away from the car, but he continued in his actions. Officers attempted to grab Winston’s arms to detain and cuff him. However, Winston pulled away from the officers to return to the car. Winston then looked back at Officer Campos and said, “I’m going to spit on you!” Winston then proceeded to look over his shoulder and spit on Campos’ face. Officers performed a takedown and handcuffed Winston. While Winston was being searched, he threatened to spit on officers again. Tiquan Winston was taken into custody and charged with assault of an officer and resisting arrest.
