Felony Charges in Wisconsin Huffing Incident
Via the Chippewa Herald in Wisconsin:
Last month a 16 year old male was found in a school bathroom, unconscious and bleeding from the mouth. A custodian found the boy who later told police and school officials that he had been pushed by another student.
School officials checked surveillance video and questioned an 18 year old male who had been in the bathroom at the same time. He said the two had been texting and agreed to meet in the bathroom. When he came out of the stall he saw the 16 year old lying on the floor but instead of checking him, he just left him and went to class.
Eventually, both students admitted the incident involved inhalant abuse. The 16 year old admitted he had bought a can of computer dusting spray after “seeing a report on MTV about huffing.” The 18 year old had the can and the two agreed to meet in the bathroom. The 16 admitted he had “huffed” the product and lost consciousness. The 18 year old has been charged with second degree reckless endangerment, distributing a hazardous substance while knowing that it would be abused, and misdemeanor disorderly conduct and contributing to the delinquency of a child.”

One Driver-Two Inhalant Crashes in Less than 2 Hours
From the KearneyHub.com in Nebraska:
Earlier this week a 33 year old woman was involved in two inhalant related car crashes in less than two hours.
At 2:47 am, police contacted her after she hit a snowdrift. She claimed someone else was driving the car but also admitted she had been huffing and had passed out. Police found an inhalant in the car and cited her with inhaling an intoxicant.
At 4:31 am, police responded to a call of a car crashing into a light pole. At the scene they found the same driver “inhaling a substance while waiting in a city’s snowplow.” In the car they found a Wal-Mart receipt where two aerosol cans had been purchased 13 minutes prior to the crash.
Damage to the power pole is estimated at $3,000 and damage to her car is estimated at $8,000. She was arrested and jailed on “suspicion of huffing and willful reckless driving, both misdemeanors.”
Frighteningly, the article also points out that she is also facing a separate huffing charge from a December 13 incident.
