** A Wisconsin man from Madison is facing several different felony charges after pulling a knife on first responders and then spitting on them Saturday. That is the word from the Wisconsin State Journal (Elizabeth Beyer/October 18) which said the evening incident, which took place in Warner Park, played out after EMS was called to a man overdosing on drugs. According to the newspaper, once the man was loaded into the EMS unit, he brandished a pocketknife before being subdued. He then let loose with his spittle. Police spokesman Lt. Kipp Hartman said he was arrested and charged shortly afterwards. There is no word on the specific charges or on his next court date. No one was injured in the fracas.
