Tempe AZ NOV 11 2008
A Tempe man was arrested on Saturday after he allegedly punched a security officer and spit on an officer.

Anthony William Newton, 30, was inside Jack in the Box at 7th Street and Mill Avenue about 10:15 p.m. when witnesses say he began yelling obscenities.

Workers told him to leave numerous times, but Newton apparently refused.

He then threw his driver license at a security guard and continued yelling and cursing, police said.

Once he was outside, witnesses say Newton began swinging his fists and struck the security guard in the face.

He also allegedly broke the security officer’s radio, which is valued at $1,200.

When police officers took Newton into custody he said “What do you think about this,” then made a noise and motion to fill his mouth with saliva. Police say he then spat on an officer’s face.

Newton was booked on charges including assault, criminal damage, disorderly conduct, trespass and aggravated assault.
