From Bucks County Courier Times in Pennsylvania
A 17 year old Pennsylvania boy faces felony charges after he erratically attacked local police and hospital staff late last week. The boy’s unprovoked aggression is being linked to ‘huffing.’
Warwick County Police Chief Joseph Costello reported that in addition to generating a loud disturbance, the suspect pulled out intravenous lines, spit blood at nurses, and kicked police officers attempting to restrain him.
Police arrested the boy after they found him and a 21 year old male trespassing in a condominium complex around 4 am. Nearby resident complaints led authorities to discover the intruders ‘huffing’ balloons filled with carbon dioxide. Police also recovered several cartridges of the gas from the scene, which were used to inflate the balloons.
The suspect was transported to the hospital after police grew concerned for his safety, citing suspicious changes in mood state as he “vacillated between lethargy and aggression.”
Following his medical release, the teen was transferred to a local juvenile detention center and charged with “criminal trespass, aggravated assault, assault by prisoner, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct.”
