Evansville Man Arrested for Spitting on Police and Making Threats

A 43-year-old man from Evansville, identified as James S. Roberts, is currently in custody at the Vanderburgh County Jail after an incident where he spat on police officers and made threats towards them. The events unfolded on Friday evening when officers responded to a call regarding a man stumbling on N. Fifth Avenue.

Upon approaching Roberts, officers noticed that he appeared to be intoxicated as he slurred his speech and struggled to maintain his balance. Despite being asked to stop, Roberts attempted to walk away, prompting the officers to intervene. It was at this point that Roberts became aggressive, swinging a fist at the officers when they tried to detain him.

In the ensuing altercation, Roberts spat on one of the officers and attempted to kick them multiple times. He was eventually subdued and taken to the hospital for assessment. However, his behaviour did not improve, as he continued to threaten the officers, stating that he would harm them and even making a chilling remark about cutting one of their heads off.

Following his discharge from the hospital, Roberts was promptly arrested and booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail. He is facing a number of charges, including Intimidation, Battery against a Public Safety Official, Public Intoxication, and Resisting Law Enforcement.
