The 45-year-old man is charged with deliberately subjecting a police officer, Lieutenant John Insabella, to "contact with a bodily fluid," The Smoking Gun reported.
The incident took place in June in Readington township, some 50 miles (80 km) from New York City. Greenwood was issued a summons by Insabella following his release from police custody. He had been cited for threatening assault.
Things went awry when Greenwood allegedly grabbed the document, placed it "between his butt cheeks" and started "wiping the paper in an upward and downward motion." After Greenwood was done, he threw the summons "in the direction" of Insabella, court records state. Apparently, the soiled indictment has been seized as evidence.
The charge carries a maximum 18-month jail sentence.
SOTT you are correct that this guys anger seems misplaced and yet we don't know what he or his family have been through at the hands of the law.
A thousand people a year that we know of die by police action in the U.S. and there are less than 120 million families in the country. The odds of the police confronting an agrieved family member increase almost exponentially with every new police killing, which means the potential for a 'war against the police' by one or more people also grows at the same pace.
