The mysterious farter picked the perfect moment to strike (Picture: Giphy)
Someone did such an appalling fart during a trial yesterday that the courtroom had to be cleared.
David John Dennett, 41, admitted at Mansfield Magistrates’ Court to carrying an axe in The Talbot Pub on the High Street and was also found guilty of an assault charge for which he was on bail.
But when it was announced Dennett would be jailed for 14 weeks, someone in the public gallery apparently couldn’t contain themselves any longer and made such a foul-smelling odour that the courtroom fell about laughing – and had to be sent out.
‘The judge handed down the sentence and then paused to let it sink in,’ said Nick Frame, who was in court reporting for the Mansfield and Ashfield Chad.
‘And in that silence, someone farted.
‘We tried to stay composed but eventually everyone started laughing.
‘It was like the back of a classroom.’
