Tennessee Woman Causes Apartment Fire While Huffing
Via WRCBtv.com
A Chattanooga woman was arrested in connection with a March 29th apartment fire. The Captain says he and other firefighters noticed a strong smell of gasoline after an apartment fire was put out. He called the Fire Investigation Division to investigate. Evidence showed that one of the two occupants had been huffing gasoline in the bathroom.
The person huffing lit up in the bathroom and due to the room full of gas fumes, a fire erupted. The two occupants in the apartment at the time were not injured.
Following the investigation, officials went to arrest the woman occupant. Officials say she and her husband were evicted from the apartment complex and were staying at a local hotel. When officials arrived at the hotel they could smell gas fumes and the woman refused to answer the door. Investigators entered through a window and arrested her. They found two one-gallon containers full of gas inside the room. She faces six counts of reckless endangerment due to the danger she put the other apartment residents in.

Uncle Sets Nephew On Fire
From KOB News 4 in New Mexico
A New Mexico man who set his 19-year-old nephew on fire now faces a charge of attempted murder. The incident occurred early last week after a fight broke out between the two men. The suspect allegedly “threw gasoline on [the teen] during the argument” and proceeded to light him on fire. Police say the suspect then fled on foot, and was found “two hours later holding a clear plastic bottle containing gasoline.” Several unidentified witnesses informed police that the suspect was “huffing gas vapors at the time of the incident.”
The burnt teen is being treated for second and third degree burns to his face, neck, and arms, and has undergone several skin grafts to repair the damage. It is not yet clear if the suspect will also face charges related to ‘huffing.’

Another Teen Falls Victim To Inhalants
From The Herald Times in Fruitdale, Indiana
The recent death of a 19-year-old woman from central Indiana is being attributed to inhalant abuse by medical examiners.
Local police arrived on scene only to find the young woman unresponsive and lifeless. Coroner reports reveal the victim had been dead for at least 8 hours prior to discovery of the body.
A can of air freshener was found near the body leading investigators to further examine the scene. Upon completing a thorough assessment of the victim’s home, several items were identified as key indicators signaling a huffing related death. The teen most likely suffered from cardiac arrest- resulting from the intentional ingestion of toxic fumes.

Man Brain Damaged by Huffing Remains in Institution
From the Courthouse News Service in Alaska:
The Alaska Supreme Court just ruled that a “man who damaged his brain by huffing chemicals must remain in a mental institution against his will, even though treatment is unlikely to help him.”
The article notes that he “damaged his frontal lobe through huffing gasoline fumes and other inhalants” and that “if he is discharged from the institute, he will go back to huffing.”
The doctor wrote "He cannot perceive and understand reality. His judgment is extremely poor and he is unable to make rational decisions, as shown by his continued desire to inhale toxic substances."
