Inhalant Abuse Referenced in Murder Case

From the Pioneer Press in St. Paul, Minnesota:

The article describes a case in which a 14 year-old boy killed a 4 year-old girl. At the time the boy “became the youngest juvenile in Minnesota to be certified as an adult and sent to state prison.”

Now, “exactly 14 years to the day” the girl was killed, he is scheduled to be released.

The article also references the boy’s early use of inhalants:

He “told investigators he began abusing a head-spinning array of drugs and inhalants by age 11. He also "sniffed gasoline, Glade, paint thinner, Whiteout, spray paint, rubber and model cement,'' according to court papers.”
