Man Arrested For Farting
JOSE Cruz is stopped by police in
He is suspected of for driving under the influence of alcohol in South Charleston, USA.
He fails the test.
He is taken to the police station to have his fingerprints taken. Police claim he moves towards one officer and passes gas on him. It is said he did then fan the fumes towards the officer.
Police claim the odour was strong.
“The gas,” the complaint notes, “was very odorous and created contact of an insulting or provoking nature with Ptlm. Parsons.”
Jose Cruz has now been charged with battery on a police officer as well as with driving under the influence, driving without headlights and two counts of obstruction.
It is a cautionary tale and next time someone farts clsoe to you, make a citizen’s arrest. Although, be warned, fingering the culprit can be tricky..
