MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Spitting at prosecutors would carry a felony charge under a bill the Wisconsin Assembly has approved. It’s already a felony for someone to throw or expel bodily substances at police, prison guards, firefighters and first responders, such as emergency medical technicians and ambulance operators. The GOP bill would extend that protection to prosecutors, who currently can only charge people with misdemeanor disorderly conduct for the act.
