Midland, Texas
A 23 year old man is in custody after admitting to officers that he had been huffing while driving. He is being held on a third-degree felony charge for evading officers as well as possession or use of an inhalant drug and driving while intoxicated.
A Midland Police Officer was dispatched to a vehicle that was stopped in the middle of the road at 1PM on Friday. Prior to arrival, dispatch warned the officer that witnesses reported that the driver of the car was inhaling from a can of dust remover.
A few moments later, dispatch contacted the officer again to warn that an officer from a local school had attempted to make contact with the driver who then fled in the car.
Officers eventually located the car are were able to stop the man who had been, "swerving all over the road." The driver said he didn't recall the attempted contact with the school's officer but did admit to huffing the dust remover.
If convicted of the felony, he could serve up to ten years in prison.
