Richfield, OH: A New York man was arrested on the Ohio Turnpike after state troopers discovered he was trafficking 939 pounds of nitrous oxide on April 6. The man was initially pulled over for a lane violation and after bringing in a drug-sniffing dog to the site, the Ohio State Highway Patrol found a small bag of marijuana and mutliple tanks of nitrous oxide in the vehicle. Nitrous oxide, which can be found in whipped cream cans and race cars, is the most abused inhalant and is considered by law a harmful intoxicant. The driver, Evangelos R. Scullion, 41, was booked in the county jail on a charge of trafficking over $177,000 worth of harmful intoxicants and could face up to 18 months in prison and a $5,000 fine if found guilty.
