Here’s why:
While two deputies conducted a search of the driver, he spat in the face of one of them and continued with his threats and cursing. As the deputy went to wipe the spit from his face, Orjuela-Montealegre began grabbing for their taser.
Orjuela-Montealegre had to be picked up and put in the back of the patrol car, where he kicked both deputies.
He is charged with two counts of Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer, Resisting an Officer with Violence, Attempt to Deprive an Officer of Means of Protection or Communication, Corrupt by Threat against Public Servant and Driving Under the Influence.
“Driving Under the Influence”
Why is that not surprising?
He also threatened to skin them alive.
