Woman Huffs in Wal-Mart Bathroom

A 27-year-old woman was arrested last week for retail theft, inhalation of a chemical substance, resisting arrest without violence, trespassing, and violation of probation after she locked herself in a Wal-Mart bathroom and inhaled a dust cleaner.

She was seen falling to the floor after employees heard a hissing sound. After paramedics and police were called, the can of dust cleaner was found nearby. She refused treatment and told police that she could not be jailed because she was on probation and wanted to go home. Wal-Mart is pressing charges for the theft of the dust cleaner, which cost $4.97. The woman repeatedly tried to bang her head against the wall until police held her on the floor with her head on a pillow.

The trespassing charge was included because she had been warned previously for huffing in their bathrooms on other occasions.
