I would use the simple past tense (spit or spat). The action not only happened in the past, but it also happened before the second round of spitting as well as 'found out'.
However, you could use 'have found out' instead of 'found out' if finding out about the spitting has some kind of very direct influence on or relevance to what is happening now. For example, as a result
