Police on Monday arrested a 40-year-old Bartlett resident on a warrant for aggravated battery issued in October, after the man was accused of spitting on a firefighter/paramedic performing his duties in an ambulance.
Nicholas W. Crissie was issued a $25,000 bond at his hearing. His next court appearance is scheduled for Dec. 1, at the DuPage County court facility in Wheaton.
