NAPLES, Fla. - A homeless man received 12 years in prison for spitting on a Collier County sheriff's deputy during an arrest.
David Michael Hird, 41, was convicted in June of battery on a law enforcement officer.
Hird was arrested on a trespassing charge Feb. 18 and put into a patrol car by Cpl. Paul Boliek. Prosecutors said when Hird was in the back of the patrol car, he coughed up phlegm on the deputy. When Boliek asked what he was doing, Hird replied: "I'm trying to make you sick, man."

after being arrested 18 times on felony and misdemeanor charges in California, Arizona, Iowa and Missouri. Holland said Hird was accused of assaulting police officers in many of these arrests. His sentence appears in quite a different light when THAT little nugget is exposed.

Is it 1 felony and 17 misdemeanors, or is it the other way around? The "little nugget" means nothing unless we know the severity of the crimes he perpetrated.

suffice it to say this isn't some "poor helpless penniless homeless angel who never broke the law but responded the only way he could to the facist pigs" as the title of the article wants one to believe. But rather a convicted felon with a history of assualting police officers.

The headline of the article is very misleading. It probably should read:
"Worthless Vagrant Scumbag B@st@rd with Criminal Record As Long As Your Arm Gets 12 Years for Hocking a Major Slimey Loogie on Unsuspecting Arresting Officer"

Is it 1 felony and 17 misdemeanors, or is it the other way around?Who cares? He's a career criminal and a worthless member of society. I hope he enjoys his stay in prison.

In the age of AIDs, spitting is attempted murder.

Spitting is a disgusting, uncivilized, unhealthy behavior. I put it up there with public masturbating and urination. It spreads disease, and is so third world I hate it!!!!! That is why I take off my shoes before I walk on my carpet.
