I mean, that is literally what happened. The facts of the matter is he was arrested, charged and tried for saying no shit.
He had been at a school to pick up his daughter, and somehow the staff at the school didn't know where she was. He was understandably upset about this, and a cop who saw came over to speak to him. The cop said "I can see you're upset" and he said "no shit I'm upset". Eventually his daughter was located and he took her home.
More than 3 weeks later they forced entry to his house weeks, they arrested him, they took him all the way to trial, and obviously the case was dismissed.

something similar came up a few months ago on b3ta about swearing at coppers
the cops totally knew the charge wouldn't stick, there's plenty of case law showing it needs to be heavier than that kind of swearing to be a public order offence. they were just doing it to hassle the cunt who was regularly calling them hodor on youtube
