A 52-year-old man is in jail after police say he threw a rock through the back windshield of a Chattanooga police patrol car Saturday and then tried to break the front window.
Several witnesses saw Raymond Lounds vandalize the police car, which was parked at the Bi-Lo at 4011 Brainerd Road, around 3:12 p.m., according to police.
No officers were in the car during the encounter. But when officers arrived and arrested the man, he became aggressive and uncooperative, police said.
In a patrol car on the way to the Hamilton County Jail, Lounds banged his head on the front partition, spit on the partition and yelled profanities, according to his affidavit.
When he got out of the car at the jail, Lounds spat on one officer’s face, police said.
