A suspect has been arrested after giving away their location by farting loudly, police said.
Officers were able to sniff out the hiding suspect, who was wanted for possession of a controlled substance, thanks to the incident in Liberty, Missouri, over the weekend.
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 💩 day. 🚓 #ItHappened
