Aerosol Alters Driver

From The Moultire Observer in Moultrie, Georgia

A 38 year-old Moultrie man was arrested and charged with a DUI earlier this week after he allegedly crossed over North Veterans Parkway in his Saturn SL1. Police were called to the intersection of North Veterans Parkway and Tifton Highway to investigate reports of an intoxicated driver. Officers spoke to passing motorists who witnessed the suspect’s bizarre driving patterns, later disclosing that they had seen him huffing from a can while behind the wheel.

The suspect later revealed to authorities that he had been ‘huffing’ aerosol in a nearby gas station parking lot prior to his driving infraction, appearing noticeably perplexed and unaware of his current surroundings; even telling an officer that he inhaled aerosol to “pass out” after a “bad week.” The suspect was arrested on the scene and is being held at a local jail on charges of “driving while under the influence of an intoxicant” and “failure to maintain a proper driving lane.”
