Man with hepatitis C spit in Las Vegas officer’s mouth, prosecutors say

Kenneth Watts Jr. is accused of spitting into a Las Vegas police officer’s mouth and eyes and telling her “I hope you enjoy the hepatitis C.” As Watts was placed into the backseat of the police vehicle with a spit mask over his head, he shouted, “I hope you enjoy the (expletive) hepatitis C.” Watts faces one count of unlawful act related to human excrement or bodily fluid and one count of battery by a prisoner. Someone found guilty of the former charge who knew the fluid could contain a communicable disease could be sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 10 years.
