Putting the Ass in Assault

Jose Cruz, not the former baseball player, but the drunk from West Virginia, is charged with farting on a police officer.
Cruz was pulled over when he was seen driving without his lights on. After he failed several field sobriety tests, he was taken to the station.

While being fingerprinted, Cruz "lifted his leg and passed gas loudly on Patrolman Parsons. The defendant then fanned the air with his hand in front of his rear, onto Patrolman Parsons. The gas was very odorous and created contact of an insulting or provoking nature."

So in addition to the drunk driving charge, the cops added a battery charge for the fart.
