Title: Man Passes Gas, Charged with Battery on Officer
Post by: roo_ster on September 24, 2008, 06:52:53 AM
This is a new one to me.

If this is upheld and noxious bodily odors can be considered battery, can I press charges on stinky hippies?

SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- As if getting a DUI wasnt enough, a man arrested for driving under the influence got in a lot more trouble at the police station.

Police stopped Jose Cruz on Route 60 in South Charleston Monday night for driving with his headlights off.

Then, he failed sobriety tests and was arrested.

When police were trying to get fingerprints, police say Cruz moved closer to the officer and passed gas on him. The investigating officer remarked in the criminal complaint that the odor was very strong.

Cruz is now charged with battery on a police officer, as well as DUI and obstruction.

About a year ago, a lady was charged with making faces at a police dog.

Nothing of this sort surprises me.

It would be interesting to call the same police department in Charelston and report that someone assulted you, then explain it was a chemical attack.  I think they would be upset that you were wasting their time.

At work, we have to fill out annual hazard review forms. One guy in the lab listed "flatulent colleagues" as his primary hazard.

Human Resources was not amused. (I think someone had to look up "flatulent.")

Oh man, if that's a crime, then I'm probably going to spend the rest of my life in jail. My wife would have no trouble building a very solid domestic battery case based on flatulence. Mine are just plain wicked. There are too many witnesses for any hope of a reasonable doubt.

How would you explain this one while sitting on the Group W bench?

That's because I am a pleeb, not worthy of the respect due to an officer of the law.
 rolleyes

on the other hand, I remember the first time I witnessed such an attack.   Horrendous, it was.


 
In the college dormatory bathrooms, standing at the line of sinks, the victim, 20 yrs old, shaving, with only a worn, institutional issue white towel wrapped around his midsection. 
Another similarly-clad male student of aproximately the same age, after a meal of uncertain origin, pressed his glutes firmly against the glutes of the shaver, pinning the shaver between the sink and the assailant and opened fire.

BRRRRRPTTT.

Much running and screaming ensued.  I'm still laughing 25 yrs later.



Oh, by the way, that reminds me... you can set farts on fire.  Best done while wearing denim or heavier trousers.

That's EXACTLY what I thought, too. 

But the personality of the assailant, the unbridled hilarity, and the presence of an audience negated any implied gayness.

On the back of each one (with the circles, and the paragraph.)

Hey, an update.  On the Bob and Tom show this morning, they reported that the prosecutor's filed a Motion to Dismiss the Battery charges, and the magistrate signed it while laughing.  See, sometimes the system does work... cheesy
