OMG this is the local TV news channel abiout 75 miles from where I live. Trust me on this, if those folks in west Virginia want to charge him for farting they will, and make it stick! They dip out of a very small gene pool over there!

well here in IL battery is described this way:

720 ILCS 5/12-3 Battery
(a) A person commits batery if he intentionally or knowingly without legal justification and by any means, (1) causes bodily harm to an individual or (2) makes physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature with an individual

I would say by letter of the law one could say that if a person stepped towards the officer then attempted to pass gas on him it would be physical contact of an insulting or provoking nauture. Knowing the person is an officer only enhances the penalty

So yes I would say if the prosecuting attorney has the kahonies to charge it, then it may fit the letter of the law. Is it a good idea to do so? I can't say, I was not the one that was there and don't know what the details are and I'm sure there is much much more to this story/report than what has been said in the news.

If nothing else it serves the guy right for showing such rude disrespect.

Dont know about the fart...i know you can be charged if you spit on someone, and it will stick, ive charged it before

 

[Vic_E55_2001]

If the officer can smell it that means fart molecules touched him.

Sure, go charge for it.

DUI first, then battery.... I sure he did it cause he was pissed he was caught and arrested on the DUI charge and though he could get away with it. What an ID10T! :stoopid:

 

[BlueHaya]

I can see the trial

What did you hear officer....
Are you sure it came from the defendant....
Can you describe the sound for the jury.....
Was there any evidence found at the scene....
Did you have physical contact with said flautance....

Seems like a first amendment test to me.

[BusaWizard]

Ridiculious

 

[memorex]

I guess if one has bad breath and exhales on a officer one can be charge in the same matter.
