A Zion man is facing multiple charges after spitting on a Lake County deputy's face while being arrested Saturday morning.
When the woman pulled into her driveway the car following her did as well. She told her husband, who came outside.
The man was later identified as Ben Smart, 55, of the 4200 block of Barberry Lane, Zion. Smart refused to leave when asked by the homeowners, so they called 911. Sheriff's deputies attempted to take Smart into custody, but he resisted arrest and actively fought with the deputies. Smart is now facing charges for Aggravated Battery to a Peace Officer, two counts of Aggravated DUI, Resisting a Correctional Officer, Disorderly Conduct, and Driving While License Revoked.
