Inhalant Abuse in Mayoral Candidate's Past

From the Carlsbad Current Argus in New Mexico:

The article about a write-in mayoral candidate in Carlsbad mentions his alleged previous history of inhalant abuse. Ten years ago, he was charged with “abuse or possession of glue or aerosol as an inhalant.” He pleaded no contest and was found guilty.
