Man Passes Gas on Police Officer Charge with Battery

(UPI) - A West Virginia man is facing a battery charge after allegedly intentionally passing smelly gas and sending it wafting toward a police officer, authorities say.

South Charleston police charged Jose Antonio Cruz, 34, of Clarksburg Tuesday after they say he lifted a leg, "loudly" expelled a blast of gas and then fanned the air in the direction of an officer, the Charleston Daily Mail reported Wednesday.

"The gas was very odorous and created contact of an insulting or provoking nature with Patrolman (T.E.) Parsons," the complaint against Cruz stated.

The incident occurred while Cruz was being book on suspicion of drunken driving after being pulled over for driving without his headlights on.

He was jailed until able to post a $5,000 bond, the newspaper said.
