Man passes gas on a cop, gets charged. Wait, what?
Sep 30, 2008 Current Events, Grab Bag
Allegedly, a man was taken to a police station due to suspicion of being under the influence of alcohol. He requested to use the restroom because of an upset stomach and was denied the privilege. And then it happened:
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.
I love Cruz’s reason for doing it:
“I couldn’t hold it no more”.
What kind of society do we live in where we cannot break wind in the direction of an officer of the law, especially when using the restroom has been requested and denied? In the the words of Gary Jules, we are in a “mad world”.
