When tracking down a suspect, law enforcement might use a K-9 to track down a scent.
This was not necessary for a recent arrest in Missouri.
According to the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, police were searching for a person who had a warrant out for his arrest.
The suspect was wanted for possession of a controlled substance.
As police moved in, the suspect decided to find a hiding place, but he accidentally let out a fart so loudly it gave up his location.
Clay County Police took to social media to poke fun at the incident.
“If you’ve got a felony warrant for your arrest, the cops are looking for you and you pass gas so loud it gives up your hiding spot, you’re definitely having a [crap] day.”

Another said: “Felon Farts, Flee Foiled by Flatulence.”
