Upset over gas

Man releases gas, gets stabbed.

Jose Braule Ramirez, a 33-year-old man from the Houston area, seemingly overreacted to an incident that occurred last Tuesday, April 7. Ramirez was in a Waco, Tex. motel eating with a friend when, during the meal, the friend passed gas. The flatulence offended Ramirez to the point that he threw a knife at his friend, cutting him across his leg, and then went over and stabbed him in the chest.

Ramirez's friend sustained minor injuries and was rushed to a nearby hospital. Ramirez is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and his bail is set at $15,000.
