Eduardo Raoul Garcia, 44, was camping in a park in Orlando, Florida when he reported a harassing phone call he received on Wednesday evening, according to local police.

As he was being driven away he allegedly spat through the metal cage of the police car at the back of the officers’ heads. Garcia is being held in the Lake County Jail for battery on a law enforcement officer and misuse of the 911 system. |
