FL: Student arrested for ''passing gas'' at Fla. school

Special Note: This is one of the most insane reasons I've ever heard of to ARREST someone - for FARTING of all things. Since when did flatulence become illegal?

STUART, Fla. - A student at a Florida school has been arrested after authorities say he was "passing gas" and turned off his classmates' computers.

According to a report released Friday by the Martin County Sheriff's Office, the 13-year-old boy "continually disrupted his classroom environment" by intentionally breaking wind. He then shut off some computers other students were using.

The Spectrum Junior-Senior High School [student] was arrested Nov. 4.

A school resource officer placed the boy under arrest after he confessed about his behavior, according to the report. He was charged with disruption of school function and released to his mother.
