She said she didn’t spit on Rowland, but remembers Rowland asking her several times on the way to jail why she did it.

"I kept telling him ‘I didn’t spit on you,’” Walls said.

Giulioli said the video doesn’t show Walls spitting on Rowland.

Patrol won’t release video Patrol spokesman West declined to release the patrol video to The Oklahoman, saying it is part of an ongoing investigation.

If convicted, Rowland could face up to 90 days in the county jail and be fined up to $1,000.

If Walls is convicted of spitting on Rowland, she could be sentenced to up to five years in the county jail.

Giulioli said there are strict statutes protecting law enforcement officers who are assaulted.

"It may not seem fair, but I’m not the one that makes the laws,” Giulioli said.

"Take that up with the state Legislature.”
