Arkansas Police Warn Against Huffing After Three Weekend Arrests

Via: KAIT 8 

Batesville, AR - There were three huffing-related incidences over the weekend causing alarm among law enforcement officials. The first arrest came when police responded to reports of a man huffing air duster and driving erratically. The driver denied huffing air duster but police found multiple empty cans in his car. The second arrest happened after a woman crashed into another vehicle then drove away. When police caught up to the woman she said she was looking for help but police found a recently used can of air duster in her car prompting her to confessing to huffing and driving. Then police cited a 13-year-old boy for huffing outside of a Walmart. The boy confessed saying he did it because friends told him it would make him feel good. 

Law enforcement is very concerned about the dangers of huffing especially since a man recently died from huffing. They want to encourage store employees and community members to be mindful of large air duster or spray paint purchases and to notify them.
