The Boston Police Department said that just before 4 a.m. Sunday, an officer at a fixed post on Southampton Street in Roxbury saw DeJesus yelling profanities and walking toward her car. He allegedly picked up a rock or piece of brick and threw it at the cruiser, and then allegedly picked up and threw another unknown item.
The officer got out of the car, which is when BPD said DeJesus jumped on the hood and kicked the windshield, causing it to shatter. The officer pepper sprayed the man, who was later given medical attention and arrested.
