Be careful confronting people who fart in stores!

[West Duval Nole]

DANIA BEACH, Fla. - A Florida woman faces an aggravated assault charge after authorities say she passed gas in line at a dollar store and pulled a knife on a man who complained about it.

Citing a Broward Sheriff's Office report, the Miami Herald reports 37-year-old Shanetta Yvette Wilson passed gas while waiting in line at a Dollar General on Sunday and upset a nearby customer. The report says the offended customer and Wilson then got into an argument "in reference to the defendant farting loudly."

It says Wilson then pulled a small folding knife out of her purse and told the victim she was going to "gut" him while moving as if to attack him. Wilson was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.

It's unclear if she has a lawyer.

Cool, a Florida Woman story instead of a Florida Man story.

If she had a knife and said she was going to "gut" him, how is that not intent to kill?

, how is that not intent to kill?

I am guessing she didn't make physical contact with him. Merely said she was going to do it. Thus the assault which I believe is verbal. Battery I believe would be the physical part which I am guessing there was none.

When someone confronts you about it, do you threaten to gut them with your pocket knife?

A story with a "knife" and "fart" in it and no "cut the cheese" reference...ridiculous.

There's usually no one left by the time I'm done releasing my gas.

I will take a "stab" the that altercation did not go anything like this

Victim: "Pardon me ma'am. I find flatulating in public simply reprehensible. It was rude, my mouth was open, and I want an apology from you."

Farter: "Ima gut you"

Victim: "Panic and run!"

You'd be amazed at the interesting experiences that you can observe while waiting in line at a Dollar General. It's like People of Walmart on steroids.

I would expect much better manners and decorum from Dollar Store customers.

Anyone care to offer an opinion on where Shanetta falls on the Crazy/Hot scale?

Were you prepared to shank someone if confronted?

Better conundrum might be when spooning a significant other and she/he passes gas on the hugger.

I don't understand why he made such a stink about it.

I don't understand why he made such a stink about it.

Perhaps he was merely returning the favor.

If someone with two tear drop tattoos pulls a knife and says she’s gonna gut ya - believe her.

That's been going on in Dania and Hollywood since at least 1950.

At least she didn't light it. That could have been an explosive situation.

 

[noleville]

She has that "I'm going to fart all over you" look in her eyes..

It became battery when she farted on him.

 

[Random_John]

It became battery when she farted on him.

But can scent be determined to be physical? What if her fart smells like potpourri and lights up a room vs smelling like a regular fart? Is it sill batthery?
