Spitting MadA Johnston man made a bad day worse when he reportedly spit all over a police cruiser following his arrest for assault on Jan. 6. According to police, the man had been involved in an argument with a couple and "sucker-punched" the husband. After a quick run into the nearby woods — and a cell phone call from his grandmother to come out — the suspect surrendered to police and claimed the woman had tried to choke him. When officers didn't find any marks on his neck, they placed him under arrest. That's when officers say he spat all over the interior of the police cruiser, adding a count of disorderly conduct to the assault charge.
