When police responded, Dodd began "yelling, screaming, and shouting profanities" at the officer and the woman, according to the arrest report. During the encounter, Dodd bent down and picked up dog feces with a paper towel.
After Dodd became even more agitated, the officer requested he calm down and stop. When he refused to stop yelling, the officer attempted to escort Dodd out of the room.
While being led from the room, Dodd struck the officer in the chest and smeared the dog feces on the officer's vest. Other officers were able to put handcuffs on Dodd and take him into custody.
