As the charges go, it all started when Anthony D. Davis got on the #7 bus at Third and Union back in August. He smelled super-bad. The bus driver could smell him. The passengers could smell him. People were fleeing the bus like rats from a ship. The driver soon stopped the bus and told Davis that he should leave. Things somehow got uglier from there.The P-I’s reportomaniac Levi Pulkkinen has the story.After the driver stopped, he argued loudly with Davis. But before long, the malodorous man upped the ante on unacceptable social behavior and started spitting.We’re not talking a single splutter, either. He allegedly hawked loogies, one after another, all over the bus driver. As court papers have it, the driver’s “head and face was covered in saliva.”Once he’d spat all over the man, Davis walked off the bus and into the streets, and wasn’t found by the cops until Nov. 8, when karma came back around and the driver saw him downtown again and called him in.Now Davis has been charged with third-degree assault, though he remains a free man.The bus driver, meanwhile, is still apparently driving his same route, and most likely still enduring plenty of other foul shit that never makes the blogs.
