So, fine, I don’t know if this is the only time someone couldn’t hold in a fart and so exposed his position during a police chase, but I do know that everyone it ever happened to is still trying to pretend like it didn’t happen.
Police officers in Liberty, Missouri, were hot on the trail of a man with a felony warrant out for his arrest – he was wanted for possession of a controlled substance – and about to pull out all of the stops. Fox9 reports that K-9 units had been called in to track his scent, but they were never deployed…
Because the guy let a fart rip so loudly that it gave away his hiding place.
I mean, that is some gas, if you can’t hold it in long enough to not get arrested.
The local police station had a bit of fun with the incident on their Facebook page (because how could you not?), and everyone who has read the story has had a similar (snort-laughing) response as well.
Here are some of the better ones (in this writer’s opinion).
“He had the right to remain silent, but he didn’t have the ability.”
“Boy, am I glad I caught wind of this story.”

“I fart the law and the law won.”
To be honest, I’m still not over it.
I swear, I’ll go to my grave wishing there was video.
