Assault with a SBD Weapon

[impressive]

Only in West Virginia...

A man arrested for driving under the influence in West Virginia got himself into a lot more trouble later at the police station.

Jose Cruz was pulled over Monday night on Route 60 in South Charleston for driving with his headlights off. He was subsequently arrested after failing a series of sobriety tests, according to WSAZ TV in Charleston.

During fingerprinting, Cruz then allegedly moved closer to one of the officers and passed gas, the station reported. In the complaint, the investigating officer wrote that police noticed a "very strong" odor.

The alleged stunt led Cruz to be charged with another offense — battery on an officer — in addition to DUI and obstruction, WSAZ reported.

It's just the thing that will tickle Hot Mama's hospital lab sense of humor, too. They're about the same level as your boys!

I saw this one on Drudge this afternoon. The comments on the news website (WSAZ) carrying the item were hilarious.

Problem is, they have all the funny lines.

No way! They don't need any encouragement, as it is.

Hey, as a Mountaineer, I resent that!

That charge and another has been dropped:

SEPTEMBER 25--A West Virginia man will not face a criminal charge for allegedly passing gas in the face of a policeman who arrested him Monday night for drunk driving. The misdemeanor battery count against Jose Cruz was dropped today by prosecutors, who filed a dismissal notice in Kanawha County Magistrate Court. The decision came a day after news of the unorthodox charge against Cruz, 34, received widespread coverage. A copy of the original criminal complaint against Cruz can be found below. Cruz, who yesterday told TSG that while he "farted multiple times," it "wasn't directly in [the cop's] face," said he was relieved that government lawyers dropped the battery count as well as a misdemeanor obstruction charge. Cruz, pictured in the mug shot at right, added that he was still looking for a lawyer to represent him on the remaining drunk driving rap.

The dropping of the charges almost exactly follows my analysis in another thread. By trying to get the guy multiple times, the scumbags left themselves in an impossible situation, which should still have allowed the borracho to skate free if he would have just kept his mouth shut.

Not fucking ridiculous, farting ridiculous!
