Villa then allegedly pulled alongside the white car, sideswiped it, hollered at the driver, tried to run it off the road, and sped away west.
Police say they stopped Villa at a red light at 63rd and Kostner. They reported that Villa did not have a valid driver's license or proof of insurance; and that his breath smelled of alcohol and he appeared drunk (slurred speech, trembling and aggressiveness).
As officers cuffed Villa and put him in the back seat of the squad, Villa allegedly spat on the police computer and elsewhere in the car. Officers then removed him from the car and called for a cage car. When they did that, Villa allegedly tried to spit on an officer, who responded by smacking his face in the other direction.
Villa also was allegedly shouting obscenities at the officers, who forcibly sat him on the curb to await the cage car.
At the CPD Eighth District station, Villa reportedly claimed he was short of breath. A CFD ambulance transported him to Holy Cross Hospital, where he refused medical treatment and was returned to the police station.
