Woman Arrested Twice for Inhaling Duster

A woman in Naples, Florida has been arrested for the second time in a week for inhaling dust remover.

On March 28th, Niki Jo Mortenson was arrested after being found unresponsive in her bedroom. A sheriff's deputy said that inside the room was a mist so thick that it made it difficult to breathe and burned his eyes. When officers asked what she was doing, she took a can of Dust-Off and sprayed it into her mouth.

Last Wednesday, police responded to a call of a suspicious person at a local Marriott Fairfield Inn. When they arrived, Mortenson was on the ground, crying hysterically and holding on to a palm tree.

According to the police,

"Mortenson told the officers she didn’t know where she was or how she got there. Before paramedics arrived, Mortenson grabbed one of the cans, brought it to her mouth and attempted to inhale the dust remover.

One of the officers grabbed the can from her hand, then began picking up the other six cans, which made Mortenson upset.


Five of the seven cans were completely empty, reports said, one was full, and the one Mortenson had in her hand was partially full.

Mortenson was transported to NCH Downtown Naples Hospital, where she was treated and released.

She was then arrested."
