Man charged with battery for farting near cop
Police say suspect passed 'very odorous' gas during breathalyzer test
SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A man has been charged with battery on a police officer for allegedly passing gas and fanning it toward a patrolman.
Jose A. Cruz, 34, of Clarksburg, W. Va., was pulled over early Tuesday for driving without headlights, police said. According to the criminal complaint, Cruz smelled of alcohol, had slurred speech and failed three field sobriety tests before he was handcuffed and taken to a police station for a breathalyzer test.
As Patrolman T.E. Parsons prepared the machine, Cruz scooted his chair toward Parsons, lifted his leg and "passed gas loudly," the complaint said.
Cruz, according to complaint, then fanned the gas toward the officer.
"The gas was very odorous and created contact of an insulting or provoking nature with Patrolman Parsons," the complaint alleged.
He was also charged with driving under the influence, driving without headlights and two counts of obstruction.
'I couldn't hold it no more'
Cruz acknowledged passing gas, but said he didn't move his chair toward the officer nor aim gas at the patrolman. He said he had an upset stomach at the time, but police denied his request to go to the bathroom when he first arrived at the station.
"I couldn't hold it no more," he said.
He also denied being drunk and uncooperative as the police complaint alleged. He added he was upset at being prepared for a breathalyzer test while having an asthma attack. The police statement said he later resisted being secured for a trip to a hospital that he requested for asthma treatment.
Cruz said the officers thought the gas incident was funny when it happened and laughed about it with him.
"This is ridiculous," he said. "I could be facing time."

I like a good "trailer" in a crowd... then blamming on some poor soul who is innocent!! But seriously, that charge is BS... it is a part of our society now days... what a joke. I wish I could have the opertunity to fart on Obama- but that would be Assault, public indecientcey, & probably a HATE CRIME too. Just think: If I farted on Obama, I would make history!! Jesse Jackson & Oprah would work on enacting a new racial flatuation hate crime.. "flatuation awareness" semiars would be manditory for new government employees, congress would mandate all corparations around the country to switch to flatuation free work zones.... laywers would work around the clock & judges dockets would be filled with different flatuation citations... It would be EPIC!!! Still yet my friends, I would like to be the first man who farted on Obama.

you know this could ultimitly delete guns, all you need to
do is fart on someone and it would be considered the most hannis
crime and then we won't have all the uneeded shootings.
but man the smell would have to be dealt with, i know its dumb,
but my neighbors son (19) was just shot in the head over a
few words, he died. i knew that boy since he was wearing diapers,
prayers for my friends in time of confusion and sadness, godspeed

man... what a waste. That is too bad... over words too. What happend to the good ol' days??? Used to be the worst case a guy could fight mono/mono & throw down in a parking lot & you would have a winner & loser- maybe a broken nose & some lost pride. Now it is a 9mm & a whole lot of hurt people... man, that is evil.
