Man was taken to University Hospital after he got out of his car yelling, 'I have to fart'
This was not your routine traffic problem. Twinsburg police got a call recently when a man driving on Darrow Road stopped in the middle of the road, got out and yelled "I have to fart" while running around his car. He then got back in a drove off. Police found him parked at the water tower. The man told officers he had been searching for jobs in nearby Solon. When they asked why he stopped his car in Twinsburg, he said he had to pass gas but couldn't because "it hurt too much." Because of the man's psychiatric history, police had the man treated at University Hospital in Twinsburg.
