A homeless man pleaded not guilty Friday to accusations he spit on and punched a sheriff’s deputy three times in a San Mateo County jail cell last month, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Joshua Kendall, 37, was in a safety cell at 9:24 a.m. Jan. 17 when a deputy opened the cell to give Kendall some water.
Prosecutors allege Kendall was angry and spit on the deputy’s face. The deputy tried to restrain Kendall but Kendall allegedly grabbed the deputy’s uniform and punched the deputy three times in the face.
The pair allegedly struggled on the ground until correctional officers intervened. Prosecutors allege the deputy suffered bruises and that everything was captured by jail video cameras. Kendall is being held on $25,000 bail. He is set to be in court again March 6.
Kendall’s attorney Ross Green could not immediately be reached for comment.
