Via MyCommunity Now in Glendale, Wisconsin:
A 17 year old male has been charged with two
counts of felony burglary and two misdemeanor counts of “intentionally inhaling
a hazardous substance” after family members found him huffing on two occasions.
On January 31 officers were called to a home after the homeowner’s daughters had called their father complaining of a strong smell of propane coming from the home. The father told officers he believed his stepson was huffing propane in the home. Frighteningly, when the fire department arrived, they noted the “level of propane inside the home was at a "near explosive" level.” They also noted two five-ounce aerosol cans of hairspray and a 10-ounce can of air freshener, which he admitted to huffing, were found empty in the boy’s bedroom.

Previously on January 24th the homeowner’s
daughters had seen the boy huff two-thirds of a 20-pound tank of
propane in the home. He suffered cold burns to his right knuckles and upper
left arm during that incident. He said he “learned about huffing propane from
the Internet and said that he wasn't trying to harm himself, but only wanted to
get high.” He also noted he huffed the propane “by using a credit card and
screwdriver to access tanks in a locked garage.”
