Weird News of the day...WTF??
SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va.
South Charleston police have charged a man with battery after they say he intentionally passed gas on an officer while under arrest for suspicion of drunken driving.
Police say they were fingerprinting Jose Antonio Cruz, 34, of Clarksburg, at police headquarters Tuesday when Cruz moved near Patrolman T.E. Parsons, lifted his leg and passed gas "loudly" on the officer, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha Magistrate Court.
Cruz then waved the air in the direction of Parsons, who was preparing a breath test machine nearby.
"The gas was very odorous and created contact of an insulting or provoking nature with Patrolman Parsons," the complaint says.
Cruz allegedly failed to give an adequate breath sample because he has asthma, the complaint says. Cruz asked to be taken to a hospital, but allegedly resisted when emergency medical technicians showed up. Police say they struggled to get Cruz handcuffed while he was on a cot.
The defendant was initially arrested after police observed him driving his Mazda 626 east on U.S. 60 without headlights, the complaint says. Police say Cruz was unsteady on his feet and smelled of alcohol when they pulled him over at the intersection of Park Avenue and U.S. 60.
Cruz was charged with DUI, battery on a police officer and obstructing. He was jailed on $5,000 bond.
