Via the Rapid City Journal in South Dakota:

Rapid City Police responded to two separate inhalant related cases yesterday morning.

Police found a 21 year old female passed out in her running car in a hotel parking lot at 2 am.  When the officer reached in to shut off the car the driver came to, restarted the car, shifted into reverse, and backed into the police car. She drove off and a police chase ensued until traffic spikes punctured the car’s tires. The driver abandoned the moving car and it came to a stop after rolling into an apartment building. She again attempted to run but was subdued by a police dog.

Four cans of computer dusting spray were found in her car and she had admitted she had been inhaling the product. She was arrested for “driving under the influence, driving under revocation, aggravated eluding, possession of a revoked driver's license, resisting arrest, hit and run, obstruction and ingesting.”

45 minutes later, police responded to a report of two women huffing at an apartment building. When they arrived they found two women, aged 23 and 54, with their “hands and faces covered with gold spray paint and a plastic bag containing the paint.”

South Carolina Man Arrested Sixth Time for Huffing

Via the Charleston Post Courier in South Carolina:

A 32 year old Charleston man was arrested last week on charges of huffing spray paint.  Around 1:45 am on a Sunday police heard loud noises and upon investigation in a marshy area by the highway found the man “clutching a 4-inch knife, spinning in circles and talking to himself.”  They then smelled the spray paint and noticed the gold spray paint on the man’s body and clothes along with three paint cans nearby, each with a hole in the side.

The man denies the charges and the police report lists his reason.  “He stated that he sprays the gold paint and places the rag on his mouth. When the devil worshippers come after him and try to orally sexually assault him, the paint gets on their genitals, and he can use that information to prosecute them.” Since 2006 the man has been arrested and convicted on five glue-sniffing charges. For the most recent incident he faces a charge “sniffing aromatic hydrocarbons”

A 38-year-old man was arrested and charged with use of intoxicating compounds and resisting arrest after he was found huffing gold spray paint in a parking lot.

Ironically enough, the man was huffing in the parking lot of a night club where he was scheduled to DJ. He never made it inside.

When police arrived, they found the man with a gold colored bag and a red can in his possession.

Police reported the man as being "incoherent" and "dazed." The 38-year-old had gold paint on his body, arms, face and inside his vehicle; where they found a child's seat also covered in gold paint.

When the man was told to drop his bag and can he huffed from the can one last time and attempted to run away.

The man will appear in court in mid September.
