A man faces two felony charges after authorities say he tried to pay for a dance at a strip club using crack cocaine early Sunday morning, then attacked a security guard and resisted arrest.

Ricardo Luna, 26, has been charged with retaliation and resisting arrest, according to Travis County Jail records. He remains in custody on $45,000 bail.

According to an arrest affidavit, Travis County sheriff?s deputies were dispatched to the XTC Men?s Club on Andtree Boulevard in East Austin around 4 a.m. Sunday. A security officer told the deputies that Luna attempted to buy a lap dance using drugs and was escorted out of the club, the affidavit said. In the process, Luna kicked the security guard in the leg, the affidavit said.

Luna appeared to be intoxicated and made several racial slurs toward the deputies, the affidavit said. He refused to enter a patrol vehicle until he was threatened with a Taser, and when he did he kicked the door from the inside, the affidavit said.

Deputies had to secure his legs with a tarp, and in the process Luna kicked one of them, the affidavit said. He also spit blood and saliva over the deputies, and beat his head against the cage inside the vehicle before passing out prior to his arrival at Central Booking, the affidavit said.
