A Missouri man is behind bars after a failed attempt at hiding from the police. In a viral Facebook post, the Clay County Sheriff's Office explained how officers managed to track down the suspect, who had a felony warrant out for his arrest.
Deputies from the Liberty Police Department were searching the area using K-9 units but were not having much luck locating the suspect, who has not been identified. While they were searching the wooded, residential neighborhood, the suspect farted.
His fart was so loud that officers were able to find where he was hiding and he was taken into custody.
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. 🚓 #ItHappened
The sheriff's office told Fox2 in St Louis that the suspect was wanted for possession of a controlled substance.
“We’ve gotta give props to Liberty PD for using their senses to sniff him out!” the sheriff’s department joked to the news station.
