From the Charleston Daily Mail via the Portland Oregonian:
In Charleston, W.Va., a man was charged with assault after police said he farted at an officer.
Jose Cruz, 34, was arrested for suspicion of drunken driving and taken to police headquarters. While being fingerprinted, Cruz moved near one of the officers, "lifted his leg and passed gas loudly on the officer." Cruz then allegedly waved the air in the direction of the officer.
"The gas was very odorous and created contact of an insulting or provoking nature" with the officer.
From Harpers:
From a police report filed as evidence in the assault trial of William Singlagah, twenty-seven, of Whakatane, New Zealand. In April, Singhlagah was found guilty and ordered to pay $350 to his victim, who was not named in court documents because he is a minor.
On Saturday, February 9, at about 8 P.M., the Defendant, William Singhlagah, was with a group of associates walking along Eivers Road.
The Defendant was carrying a hedgehog.
He approached to within five meters of the fifteen-year-old Complainant and threatened to throw the hedgehog at him.
The Complainant asked him not to do this.
The Defendant, however, took deliberate aim and threw it directly at him. The hedgehog hit the Complainant in the lower right hip, causing a large red welt and several puncture marks. Two quills were left sticking out of the Complainant's hip and had to be manually removed.
The Defendant picked up the hedgehog and threatened to throw it at the Complainant again.
The Complainant's mother intervened, and the Defendant walked approximately twenty meters up the road before pulling his trousers down to his knees, thereby revealing his boxer shorts. He bent over and pointed his backside toward the Complainant.
He then pulled his pants up, rejoined his associates, and continued walking up the road.
