Arrested Man Spits on Cop in Manassas: Police

It all began as a routine shoplifting arrest at a Walmart, according to Prince William County Police. But when he was later processed. . .

MANASSAS, VA — A routine shoplifting arrest early Saturday night at a Walmart, 8386 Sudley Road, turned into something not at all routine, according to Prince William County Police.

Officers arrived at the store shortly after 5 p.m., found the man they were looking for and arrested him without incident — at the time, anyway.

But while being processed at the Adult Detention Center, the man spit on an officer's hand.
