Huffing Behind The Wheel Can Lead to 5 Years in Prison

Via the Argus Leader in South Dakota:


Last month a 37 year old woman was arrested after an inhalant related crash. A witness noticed a car run into another vehicle in a mall parking lot and then saw the driver huff computer duster and then pass out behind the wheel.

The driver was indicted on “alternate counts of driving under the influence of an intoxicant other than an alcoholic beverage and one count of ingesting a substance for the purpose of becoming intoxicated.” And based on her three previous DUI convictions from 2003, 2005 and 2008 she is now eligible for "up to five years in the South Dakota State Women’s Prison for fourth-offense DUI."
