CLAY COUNTY, Mo. - 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, over the weekend, Liberty police were searching for a person who a felony warrant for arrest. The person was wanted for possession of a controlled substance.
The suspect hid to avoid police, but apparently let out a fart so loudly, it gave up their hiding spot.
"We’ve gotta give props to Liberty PD for using their senses to sniff him out!" read a Facebook comment from the Clay County Sheriff's Office.
