Man accused of tossing horse droppings at State College officer

July 11, 2010 7:27pm EDT

A 21-year-old Manheim man was arrested after allegedly throwing horse feces at a State College police officer.   David R. Woodson, of Manheim, faces one misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct and several summary offenses, including harassment and public drunkenness.

At about 11:40 p.m. Saturday, Woodson allegedly threw a paper cup and plate filled with horse feces through the window of a marked patrol car, striking an officer in the chest.  Police say they caught Woodson after a foot chase and that his back, buttocks and hands were covered in horse feces.

Police believe Woodson may have fallen into a pile of horse feces, before deciding to throw some at a police officer.  Police used mounted patrols Saturday, with officers riding on horseback.
