In a request to have his 60-day sentence changed to work release, the man’s defense attorney wrote that he didn’t remember much of the night in the Bellevue incident and was suffering from “intoxicated delirium” and had consumed so much alcohol that he required care at the hospital where he spit on the police officer.
