A warning to flatulent men of America, stay out of Florida. Because there's a stink rising from Martin County. It's coming from the office of the Spectrum Junior-Senior High School school resource officer who placed a thirteen-year-old under arrest earlier this month for "purposely breaking wind."
A report in the TC Palm states the teenager also turned off the computers of several classmates, but I'm still stuck on the fact that officers in the Martin County Sheriff's Office were able to discern that the boy was "purposely" breaking wind. Did they pull his finger? Or did they demand the teen spread his butt cheeks for a cavity search and get a whiff of something extra noxious?
And, short of the other members of the class pulling their shirts to nose height and moaning about the stench, I'm wondering how an overactive sphincter qualifies as an official classroom disruption worthy of police action. Flatulence is kind of like poop . . .it happens. Just ask Walter. And let's remember this is a teenage boy - they are, well, rather flatulent. Their diets don't help.
Eau de teenage boy is not something any of us enjoys, but if this is what's qualifying for probably cause these days, I may have to duct tape my three-year-old's rear end before we leave the house.
