Laramie County Inmate Accused of Spitting Bloody Saliva on Jailers
A 45-year-old Louisiana transient currently being housed in the Laramie County Detention Center is facing felony charges after reportedly spitting bloody saliva on three jailers.
According to a booking sheet, X was arrested at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 27, after police contacted him in southeast Cheyenne, where they say he was trespassing.
The following day, April 28, the inmate reportedly spit bloody saliva on three detention deputies, then made statements about having HIV/AIDS.
According to the reporting officer, the deputies had to be taken to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center to be evaluated for possible exposure to HIV, which caused the jail to run extremely short and delayed the movement of inmates.
He was subsequently charged with three counts of aggravated assault and battery on a corrections or detention officer – propels any dangerous substance, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison, up to a $5,000 fine, or both.
