A quiet courtroom break was interrupted as a man waiting to be sent to prison broke wind.
Magistrates had retired to consider their sentence of a Lincoln man appearing on shop theft charges when the trump rippled through the air.
The courtroom began to resemble a scene from the school playground as giggles broke out among solicitors and other legal representatives. An apology from the defendant seemed to do little to stifle the laughter from the onlookers.
However, order was restored as magistrates returned. Aaron Scott Morris, 31, of Lincoln, Lincolnshire, was jailed for 12 weeks after admitting breaching a suspended sentence order and two charges of theft from a shop.
