🚨Arrest Leads to Coos Bay Man Spitting on Deputy🚨  
  
On December 16, 2025, at approximately 5:58 PM, Deputy Z. Smith was patrolling the area of Cape Arago Highway and Robertson Road in Coos Bay when he encountered an individual walking in the middle of the roadway. The individual was later identified as Clifton Walker, age 33.  
  
Deputy Smith issued a verbal warning to Walker regarding the hazards of walking in the roadway. During this interaction, North Coos Dispatch informed Deputy Smith of probable cause for Walker's arrest stemming from charges issued by the North Bend Police Department.  
  
Deputy Smith informed Walker that he was under arrest for the offenses related to the North Bend charges. Walker resisted arrest on the roadside, leading to a brief struggle on the ground. Deputy Smith successfully placed Walker in handcuffs just as Deputy Converse arrived to assist.  
  
Walker was then secured in the rear of the patrol vehicle, where he continued disruptive behavior. He repeatedly kicked the interior of the vehicle's door, resulting in bending and denting at the top. Deputy Smith attempted to de-escalate the situation verbally, but Walker responded by spitting on him.  
  
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) evaluated Walker on scene. He was subsequently transported to the Coos County Jail, where he was booked and lodged on the original charges from the North Bend Police Department, as well as additional charges from this incident: Aggravated Harassment, Disorderly Conduct 2, Resisting Arrest, and Criminal Mischief 1.
