Today’s lesson? Don’t spit on cops

A man wanted on an outstanding Department of Corrections warrant faces new charges after he spat on two Spokane police officers.

Lance C. Anderson, 35, was arrested Monday and taken to Deaconess Hospital for medical clearance before being booked at Spokane County Jail, according to an affidavit. Anderson was disorderly and spat at two of the police officers arresting him.

Anderson now faces two felony charges of third-degree assault for the spitting.
