Car Stuck in Pasture After Driver Abuses Inhalants Behind The Wheel

Via the Franklin Sun Journal in Maine:

A 36 year old man faces charges after an inhalant related incident.  He took off in a car without the owner's permission and subsequently took out a couple of mailboxes, went off the road, traveled across the lawn into a pasture, damaging a fence, the field and the vehicle.

When the car got stuck the first time, a 14 year old jumped out and ran to the road for help.  The second time, the officer approached the car and noticed the driver had locked himself in and was huffing computer dusting spray.

He was taken to the detention center on a felony charge of driving after habitual offender revocation and charges of leaving the scene of an accident and driving to endanger because of the teen in the vehicle. His license is revoked on a prior charge of driving under the influence and he was also given a summons on a civil charge of ingesting inhalants.

Murder Charge Upheld in Pennsylvania Inhalant Related Crash



 Via the Centre Daily Times in PA: 

 A judge ruled that the charge of murder will be upheld in the case of the 22 year old woman who used inhalants behind the wheel, resulting in a fatal car crash. 

In 2012 the woman went shopping at Wal-Mart, purchased two cans of computer dusting spray, and huffed them with her boyfriend. Minutes later she drove away and then again huffed from the product while at a red light. Shortly after her car crossed the center line and crashed into a car, killing the male driver.

The judge ruled that the woman’s behavior after the accident showed “abject failure” of responsibility saying that while the man was dying on the side of the road, the defendant never tried to help him. Instead, she called her mother to come pick up electronics from her car. 

Charges against the woman include: felony counts of murder in the third degree, aggravated assault, homicide while DUI, aggravated assault while DUI and homicide by vehicle; misdemeanor counts of DUI, involuntary manslaughter, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and illegal use of solvents; and six summary traffic offenses..
