Suspect Passes Gas So Loudly Missouri Police ‘Sniff Him Out’
Police in Liberty, Missouri, were closing in on a drug suspect, who involuntarily revealed his location by loudly passing gas.

LIBERTY, MO — Everybody passes gas. Everybody. And if they don’t, it’s a sign something is seriously wrong. A suspect police were sniffing out in the Kansas City suburb of Liberty may not have to worry about that, but his troubles mounted when he let ‘er rip so loudly that he gave up his hiding spot.
The account of the arrest of the suspect, who was wanted for drug possession, wound up on Facebook, where junior high humor is reaching a zenith. It started with a comment by the Clay County Sheriff’s Office: “We’ve gotta give props to Liberty PD for using their senses to sniff him out.”
Facebook users appreciated the humor.

Guts in such a knot,
That as PoPo came near,
Guts leaked hiding spot
