A battery charge has been dropped against a West Virginia man who had been accused of passing gas and fanning it toward a South Charleston patrolman.

The Kanawha County prosecutor's office requested that the charge be dropped against 34-year-old Jose Cruz of Clarksburg. Mary Frampton, an assistant to Magistrate Jack Pauley, said Thursday the magistrate signed a motion to dismiss the charge.

A call to the prosecutor wasn't immediately returned.

Cruz, who was arrested Tuesday, still faces driving under the influence and other charges.

According to a criminal complaint, Cruz passed gas and made a fanning motion toward



 
Patrolman T.E. Parsons after being taken the police station for a breathalyzer test. Cruz denies fanning the gas and says his request to use a restroom when first arriving at the station was denied.
