A Chattanooga Red Wolves player showed up in court on Thursday to face a charge of spitting on the female manager of Clyde's on Main Street. However, the manager did not.

Tony Walls, 29, is charged with assault and public intoxication.

Prosecutor Larry Ables said show cause notices will be sent to Clyde's as well as to the home of the manager to direct her to be in court for the next setting.

That will be May 2.

The manager told police that in the incident on Feb. 10 she said Walls was causing a disturbance at the restaurant. She said she told him multiple times to leave and he refused.

She said he finally spit on her, then left. She then called police.

Officers found him a block away. They said he smelled of alcohol and showed several signs of being intoxicated.

Walls, who is from Wisconsin, was taken to the County Jail and later made bond.

Walls last fall was playing with Saint Louis FC when he was suspended for three games following a red card "for abusive language toward an opponent" in STLFC’s playoff contest with Orange County SC.

Walls’ suspension will be served in the first three games of the 2019 USL Championship season, it was stated.
