A 34-year-old resident of the Los Angeles area is in jail here after an incident involving police in Crystal City.
Officers were dispatched to the Americana Hotel, along Richmond Highway, around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday for a report of a trespasser in a hotel room. After police arrived, the suspect resisted arrest and spit on an officer, according to Arlington County Police.
The responding officer called for backup as the suspect resisted, per scanner traffic.
More from an ACPD crime report:
