12 Year Old Boy Arrested for ‘Breaking Wind’ in Class

Arrested? Whatever happened to cleaning erasers, pushing the mop in the gym, detention hall, writing sentences, running laps around the ball field, push ups, sit ups, yanking parents out of work?

If disruptive flatulation were a crime, I’d be on death row.

12-year-old charged after deliberately “breaking wind” in class


A 12-year-old Florida student was arrested earlier this month after he “deliberately passed gas to disrupt the class,” according to police. The child, who was also accused of shutting off the computers of classmates at Stuart’s Spectrum Jr./Sr. High School, was busted November 4 for disruption of a school function. A Martin County Sheriff’s Office report, a copy of which you’ll find below, notes that the 4′ 11″ offender admitted that he “continually disrupted his classroom environment by breaking wind and shutting off several computers.” The boy, whose name was redacted from the police report released today, was turned over to his mother following the arrest. The young perp turned 13 on November 15.
