Huffing Behind the Wheel Causes Car Chase in California
Via Ninemsn:
Last week, after a 10 minute car chase, a 24 year-old man was pulled over for huffing behind the wheel.
NBC Los Angeles helicopter footage showed him “filling up balloons from a gas tank and then inhaling them.” His car was stopped after the tire was punctured from a spike strip. Officers then fired a bean-bag round at him and used a baton to smash the window so they could pull him from the car. The man’s father noted he had a problem with nitrous oxide and court records show a previous charge for possession of nitrous oxide in 2009.
