The Farting Felon - Something is Rotten in the State of Missouri

Now this breaking story is a Whopper!

The scenario - police in Liberty, Missouri in pursuit of a crook wanted for possession of a controlled substance.

The police officers thought that the they had probably lost their 'perp' when the unthinkable happened... the bad guy let off what we Aussies know as the a 'BUM BURP' and landed himself in DEEP SH*T!

If you’ve got a felony warrant for your arrest, the cops are looking for you and you pass gas so loud it gives up your hiding spot, you’re definitely having a day.

It was elementary from there, Dr Watson - the odor and noise led the good guys straight to the smelly hiding place - and the nearby Clay County Sheriff's Office took to social media.  :)

The fun didn't stop there - all manner of bum and gas jokes ensued on Twitter... I guess that this will be the last time that this guy will toot his own horn!

Thanks to @SheriffClayCo for airing out a wanted person's dirty laundry and fanning the flames. The Liberty Police Department was surprised to see this incident slip out, which stinks for the arrestee. Fortunately, no one was injured during his arrest #nervousbelly #nocomment https://t.co/mHPoPds3nv
