News you can use

Hubert Hoffman, a 45 year old Polish man is now the subject of a nationwide manhunt by the Polish police after he was charged for farting loudly in response to his sentiment about the president.

Having been earlier arrested by the police in a routine check at a Warsaw railway station, Hoffman complained to the arresting officers that President Lech Kaczynski and his twin brother Jaroslaw, was responsible for turning Poland back to a Communist style dictatorship. He was reprimanded to show more respect for the country's rulers.

Hoffman replied with a loud fart and was immediately arrested. He was charged for "contempt for the office of the head of state."

He was later released on bail but failed to show up at a Warsaw court in early October to stand trial and the judge on case rejected an appeal by his lawyers to drop the charges. Remarkably, the court then ordered police to start a nationwide hunt for the man.
