As if West Virginia hasn't already embarrassed itself with the friction that has developed between Masonic factions, with brother suing brother, today the state is in the headlines over an "offended" South Charleston police officer who has charged a drunk driver he was fingerprinting with the crime of battery, for "passing gas on" him.Yep. Farting is now considered battery.
From Law.com:
batteryImage: Jose Cruz, the alleged Farting Terrorist
n. the actual intentional striking of someone, with intent to harm, or in a "rude and insolent manner" even if the injury is slight. Negligent or careless unintentional contact is not battery no matter how great the harm. Battery is a crime and also the basis for a lawsuit as a civil wrong if there is damage. It is often coupled with "assault" (which does not require actual touching) in "assault and battery."
