Meet Alfonsa J. Loftin, he’s a 6’3″, 300 lb. 40 y/o West Palm Beach resident. That’s his mug shot below…
I do not know either why a Palm Beach County Deputy Sheriff went to his house to arrest him or why he was carrying around a liter of urine but, according to multiple reports, that is what set the stage for Alfonsa’s ultimate arrest for Aggravated Battery on a LEO (law enforcement officer) and Resisting Arrest with Violence…
When a Deputy Sheriff responded to Alfonsa’s home (again, for reasons unknown) he was met at the door with a face full of urine (who’s urine is also unknown).
After realizing that he was the recipient of an unexpected golden shower the Deputy got on his radio and called for backup, and by the time that other Deputies had arrived Alfonsa had reportedly barricaded himself inside of his home, creating a stand off and negotiation situation.
After several unsuccessful hours of negotiation Deputies had had enough and went proactive with tools of the trade (in this case a boot, a taser and a K-9). A Deputy kicked a hole in a wooden door which which provided line of sight to Alfonsa’s thigh and gave the Deputy a clear shot, which he took, with his Taser. Alfonsa appeared to be immobilized by the Taser so Deputies kicked in the door and attempted to secure him… “attempted” being the operative word. Deputies reported that Alfonsa managed to struggle with two (2) Deputies and that he also grabbed a K-9 by the head, refusing to let go until Deputies were able to taser his arm, thigh and hip, at which point he relinquished his grip on the K-9’s head.
Memo to the Folks: Cops consider urine to be a “deadly weapon” and they will react accordingly. (If you don’t believe me then just ask Alfonsa.) So, unless you have a willing partner please keep your urine to yourself.
Memo to the Folks continued: Cops have a saying: “You might beat the rap but you won’t beat the ride”.
Memo to the Folks continued: What this means is that your arrest may ultimately result in either a dismissed or a deferred prosecution, but you will still have been cuffed and booked. I routinely advise people that if you are going to get arrested then go with it calmly, quietly and respectfully. Let your lawyer do your talking and exact your revenge when the time and place are appropriate. If you decide to play tough guy, or wise guy, or otherwise challenge a cop’s authority then you run the risk of A) being the subject of police extra-curricular activity and B) facing more, and more significant, charges…
