West Charleston, WV - Tuesday evening, police observed a Mazda 626 being driven without headlights. When pulled over, 36-year-old Jose Antonio Cruz was a bit wobbly on his feet and smelled of alcohol. Police placed him under arrest for DUI and took him into police headquarters. Cruz then did as drunken people are wont to do: he made a bad situation worse.
Attempts to get an adequate breath sample from Cruz failed, allegedly because he has asthma. He asked to be taken to a hospital, but when the EMTs showed up, he resisted and had to be handcuffed while on a cot, resulting in an obstructing justice charge.
But that’s not all.
While being fingerprinted, Cruz moved toward Patrolman T. E. Parsons. He then lifted his leg, farted “loudly” on the officer, and waved the air in the direction of Parsons. According to the criminal complaint, “The gas was very odorous and created contact of an insulting or provoking nature with Patrolman Parsons.”
Few men can boast that their farts are so noxious that they’ve faced criminal charges for them, but Jose Cruz can. Cruz’s moment of flatulent excellence garnered him the additional charge of battery on an officer.
This one’s for ImpQueen. Happy Birthday!

I think my infant son would probably qualify for charges of battery as a result of his horrific farts. Maybe I should press charges next time…

And yes, farting and waving it toward the cop just made a bad sitch worse, but you know draught beer and bar food causes explosive and especially putrid gas and sometimes you just can’t help it.
I was glad to see this story hit the DD. Nice change of pace.

But, I gotta say, it was a relief to read a story like this. Get it? Relief!? *Spares you all more lame jokes and crawls back into the background to read more DreaminDemon from afar.*

Sep 25, 2008 at 3:22 pm -Sorry, but I think that’s hilarious!!!!!! I mean not the drunk driving part, but just picturing the raiseded leg and him waiving it at the cops……like we all haven’t done it or have it been done to us. Unfortunately I am in the latter as I have a husband and a 3 year old who just thinks my husband is the most hilarious thing out there and she loves to imitate him and yes I said “she”. Nice

Sep 25, 2008 at 3:49 pm -Hey, there are worse things. About 6 months ago, my brother who is a law enforcement officer was having breakfast with his boss and several other officers. They began to hear a loud voices and it seems this older, heavy lady was getting a little beligerant about something in the restaurant. Well, to make a long story short, she was drunk, got pissed, loud and ugly. She had to be taken down and arrested. When they tried to put the cuffs on her, (she was a BIG woman) she pissed on my brothers leg! He has just finally stopped getting ribbed about this!
(Personally, I had a ball with it for a while;)
