A United States man has been charged with assault after he allegedly broke wind on a police officer.
Police say they were fingerprinting Jose Cruz, 34, when he moved near Patrolman TE Parsons, lifted his leg and farted "loudly" on the officer.
Cruz then allegedly waved the air in the direction of Parsons, who was preparing a breathalyser at South Charleston police headquarters in West Virginia.
"The gas was very odorous and created contact of an insulting or provoking nature with Patrolman Parsons," the complaint reads.
Cruz, of Clarksburg, had just been arrested under suspicion of drunk driving after police saw him driving without headlights, reports the Charleston Daily Mail. Officers said he was unsteady on his feet and reeked of alcohol when they pulled him over.
Cruz was charged with drunk driving, assaulting a police officer and obstruction.
