Body Odor Prompts 911 Call
City Hall workers in Hannibal, MO were upset by someone in the building who was stinking up the place.
The Hannibal Courier-Post reports that several city hall workers on Tuesday called police to complain that a person who came into the building smelled so bad they wanted him removed. The northeast Missouri town’s municipal code allows people to be cited for peace disturbance because of a “noxious and offensive” odor.
The man agreed to leave the building. A short time later, workers at a neighboring business called police the same person had gone there, the smell following with him.
The person left that building, too, at the urging of police. No arrest was made.
