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!
