A Lindsay, Ont., man faces charges following an altercation with a police officer in Lindsay on Monday afternoon.

According to the Kawartha Lakes Police Service, just before 5 p.m., officers responded to a family dispute reported at a Lindsay Street South motel — a situation that required two further additional visits to the motel.

During one of the visits, police say an unwanted, intoxicated man was outside a motel room banging on the door and yelling.

The man was arrested for public intoxication. However, police allege while the suspect was in custody, he spat in an officer’s face.
