Police Stopped Their Interrogation After Suspect Refused To Stop Farting

It helps if you’re the naturally gassy type, but even if you’re not, some small adaptations to your diet would surely improve the deadliness of your trouser-based weapon.

A police interrogation of a Kansas City man charged with drug and gun offenses ended prematurely when an investigator was driven from the room by the suspect’s excessive flatulence.

A detective reported that when asked for his address, 24-year-old Sean Sykes Jr. “leaned to one side of his chair and released a loud fart before answering.”

The Kansas City Star reports that Sykes “continued to be flatulent” and the detective was forced to quickly end the interview.

On 1 September, Sean A. Sykes Jr was in a car police searched and found a backpack containing various drugs and handguns, the Kansas City Star reports – one of the guns had been stolen from a car in Independence, Kansas, a few days earlier, according to official documents.

Sykes appeared in court, charged with being a felon in possession of three firearms and possession with intent to sell cocaine. The charges stem from police traffic stops this month and in September in Kansas City, Missouri.

The Kansas City Star reported that the interviewing officer wrote this is his report:

Sean A. Sykes Jr., is charged in U.S. District Court of possession with intent to sell cocaine and being a felon in possession of three firearms, two of which were reported stolen.

No charges were filed against Sykes at the time.

The stench of injustice must have been unbearable, however, Sykes’ jail break of wind could only catch the breeze for so long – on 5 November police pulled over a vehicle driven by Sykes.

Court documents state police found marijuana and crack cocaine, as well as .38-calibre revolver, which was reported stolen from Overland Park.

Sykes has since been charged in US District Court with, possession with intent to supply cocaine and being a felon in possession of three firearms, two of which were reported stolen.

Sykes made an initial appearance in court and was ordered to be held in custody pending a further hearing to determine if a bond will be set.
