Austin, TX — Ricardo Luna, 26, was arrested outside of the XTC Men’s Club early Sunday morning, after police say he attempted to pay for his lap dance with crack cocaine.
According to the criminal complaint, deputies were dispatched to the club around 4:00 that morning, after receiving a report claiming Luna tried to pay for his lap dance with crack. While speaking with a bouncer at the club, police learned Luna kicked a member of the security staff and started screaming racial slurs as he was being escorted out of the establishment.
An intoxicated Luna was hesitant about being seated in the back of the patrol car, but complied after being threatened with a tasin’.
On the way to the cop shop, police say Luna began kicking the right rear door in an attempt to escape. The arresting officer then pulled the car over and attempted to secure Luna’s legs with a tarp. He was apparently unsuccessful, and another officer ended up getting kicked in the chest three times. As one officer held Luna’s chest to keep him from headbutting everyone, Luna spit a mixture of blood and saliva on to one of the deputy’s arms and legs, reportedly laughing as he did so.
The officers managed to secure Luna without beating the ever-loving shit out of him, and continued on their way to the cop shop. As they drove, Luna bashed his head against the metal cage until he passed out in the back seat.
Luna’s been booked on charges of retaliation, resiting arrest and harassment of a public servant. Bond was set at $20,000.
No word on whether police found any crack in his possession.
