Charge dropped against man accused of passing gas

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - A West Virginia man accused of passing gas and fanning it toward a police officer no longer faces a battery charge. The Kanawha County prosecutor's office requested that the charge be dropped against 34-year-old Jose Cruz.

According to a criminal complaint, Cruz passed gas and made a fanning motion toward patrolman T.E. Parsons after being taken to the police station for a breathalyzer test. Cruz denies fanning the gas and says his request to use a restroom when first arriving at the station was denied.

An assistant says Magistrate Jack Pauley signed a motion to dismiss the charge Thursday.

Cruz, who was arrested Tuesday, still faces driving under the influence and other charges.

Best. Story. Of. The. Day.

Damn must of been some fart to have the officer add the charge of battery LOL!:jointsmile:

I can't even fathom what was goin on in the cops head when this happened.

"Did that motherfucker just fart at me? Hey, HEY YOU, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!! You're under arrest for assault on an officer!"

That cop deserves to get either fired or fined for wasting everyones time and resources with this bullshit.

However, seems like the guy was initially arrested for DUI. But shit dude, did this cop really expect this to fly?

:S2: this one truly made me laugh.

U rebgirl, once again get the prize for the headline of the day :D:greenthumb:

there ya go lol
:joint1:

Hahah I knew this story would be well regarded from a site full of stoners haha

I read this on an officer forum and they were all gloating and hoping the officer got paid for overtime in court.

Just sounds like a another cop with too much ego. If I'd of been the cop I'd of laughed my ass off.
