Via the Dayton Daily News in Ohio:
Just after huffing computer duster behind the wheel, a 19 year old male crashed his car into an elderly couple, killing both of them.
The article notes police have made arrests for huffing and that it is a first degree misdemeanor but they also note “it is hard to determine how big of a problem huffing actually is” and that “tracking by just arrests is difficult.”
The town where the accident above occurred has had three other huffing related arrests so far this year including a man arrested on August 3 after officers found him after he had been huffing gold paint. One officer states that “the proliferation of synthetic drugs and bath salts has curbed some of the appeal of huffing.”
The article also points out that from 2009 to 2012 Butler County had three huffing related deaths. The victims were ages 50, 34, and 46 and two of the deaths were ruled suicides while the third was accidental.
