This morning, in Charelston West Virginia, of course, Jose Cruz was picked up and taken back to a local police station for suspicion of driving under the influence.
The officer's crime fighting instinct was evidently dead on when Jose failed the sobriety test. Briefly after his official arrest, old Jose tip toed up to the officer and ripped a fart on him. Rather than laughing hysterically at Jose, high fiving him, and letting him off with a warning, the officer charged the assailant with not only the DUI, but "battery on an officer" and "obstructing an officer" as well. These charges were added partially on account of the odor being "very strong".
Although the latter two charges were dropped earlier this afternoon, Jose will think twice next time he lays a beer fart on a boy in blue.
