Police were called to an alleged domestic dispute, but it turned out to be nothing more than a farting problem.
Michigan Police were left shaking their heads after the suspected domestic violence call turned out to be something completely different.
Clawson Police Chief Harry Anderson said that a woman called police when she heard what sounded like a violent altercation between neighbors in an apartment complex on Maple Road.
"One of the neighbors had heard someone scream. She heard a woman screaming, who was possibly being beaten. She heard the woman screaming: 'Stop! No!'" Anderson said.
The caller also said that amid the screams, she heard repeated loud noises.
Police arrived within minutes. When they knocked at the door of the apartment, a woman told officers she was indeed screaming, "Stop!" But not because her boyfriend hit her.
"The woman who was inside said her boyfriend had been passing gas, and she screamed for him to stop," Anderson said.
Police officials said that is when police quickly left the scene.
"Too often we respond to things that have a fun twist to them, and this was definitely one for the books," Anderson said.
