From WQOW 18 News in Eau Claire, Wisconsin
It seems a Wisconsin woman has made headlines again this week, after she was found in a hotel room passed out and surrounded by over 40 cans of aerosol. Police records reveal that 30 of the cans were empty. Days later, police were called to an area pharmacy after receiving word that a woman was huffing in the bathroom. Officers arrived to find the suspect loitering outside of the store with a shopping bag full of aerosol cans.
This latest incident comes just weeks after the suspect was arrested for her 5th consecutive OWI- operating a vehicle while intoxicated, after she rolled and crashed her truck on a busy interstate highway. Witnesses of the accident told police that she was “huffing keyboard cleaner immediately after the crash.”
Even more strangely, the suspect was involved in yet another ‘huffing related’ car accident back in May 2009; which authorities have now ruled to be the result of ‘intoxication by inhalants.’ Accident reports cite that “when a passing motorist stopped to assist her, offering up a t-shirt for her head wound, she immediately took the shirt and used it to huff.”
The woman is facing stiff legal penalties in connection to her most recent ‘run-ins’ with the law, and will most likely be required to seek treatment for her inhalant addiction. She will remain in jail on a $20,000 cash bond until her court date- set for early next week.
