Edwards, who gave his name as "Zim," told the officers his girlfriend had invited him to the home so he could propose and she had instructed him to take off his clothes. He told police "he just wanted to go to jail" and asked if head-butting an officer would result in his arrest. "I told him not to try it," an officer wrote in the report. The man then asked if spitting in the officer's face would get him arrested, and he proceeded to do so despite being warned to remain sitting.
