CINCINNATI -- A man is accused of ramming his wheelchair into a Cincinnati police officer.
Police say 45-year-old Ralph Evegan also threw urine from his catheter bag onto the patrol car of Stephanie Glueck and spit at her. Evegan, a paraplegic, was arrested Sunday on charges of assaulting a police officer, obstructing official business, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
Evegan's lawyer says the case is a misunderstanding, and that his client was just trying to break his fall after the officer threw him to the ground. Police say they had gone to Evegan's apartment to arrest him on an old disorderly conduct charge.
Hamilton County Municipal Judge Ted Berry has ordered Evegan tested for diseases that can be transmitted by bodily fluid.
