A Bend man with a long history of criminal convictions will serve more than two years in prison after spitting on a police officer and telling him he was infected with COVID-19.
Daniel Ray Stubblefield, 36, was sentenced in Deschutes County Circuit Court on Thursday for aggravated harassment and menacing.
As part of his plea deal, three other pending cases against him were dismissed.
Stubblefield is diagnosed with schizophrenia and struggles with alcohol addiction, he told the court. The recent cases allege, among other charges, assaulting police officers, punching and biting his brother, screaming at and frightening his sister and refusing to leave his familyâs house after arriving there uninvited.
