Seriously.  You cannot make this stuff up.  Florida has decided to get tough on farting.

Florida Boy Arrested For Gas Attack

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

NOVEMBER 21–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.

I can’t help but wonder if he was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, or if this was classified as a hate crime….

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.

The charge was actually “Disruption of a school function”, according to the police report.

Maybe the ACLU will take up the case.   Isn’t passing gas a free speech exercise?

Puhleeeeze….Detention?  Reprimand?  Even sending him home to stink out his parents in a suspension, OK.

But calling the police and creating a Juvy record?
