STUART — A student at Spectrum Junior-Senior High School was arrested earlier this month after he passed gas and turned off his classmate’s computers, according to a report released Friday by the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.

According to the report, the incident occurred Nov. 4, when the 13-year-old boy “continually disrupted his classroom environment” by purposely breaking wind. He then shut off some computers other students were using.

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.

How can they arrest someone for a normal bodily function? My oldest got kicked out of school for 3 days while in grade school because he had gas in a class room and the teacher said it was on purpose. I don't know anyone that can fart on command.

Yes, is it that obvious? My DH and I have farting contests does that help? If the kid has gas like DH then i can see how they would complain. There's times I walk into a room full of nasty perm smell and no one in our house gets perms.
