Illinois Man Charged with Reckless Homicide After Killing Three


Via Quad-Cities Online in Illinois:

Earlier this morning, Judge Ted Hamer of Henry County Court District in Illinois charged a twenty-year-old man with reckless homicide and aggravated driving under the influence. The driver is connected with three previous deaths which took place in November of 2012 during a car accident.

While it was first unclear whether the driver was having seizures or huffing, it soon became clear to authorities that he was abusing inhalants. A toxicologist confirmed the man was huffing using various pieces of evidence such as the weight loss in the can discovered at the scene, and the driver's history of "blacking out."

The driver could face anywhere from six to twenty-eight years in prison, with a possible but very slim chance of probation.
