Via NewsOK in Oklahoma:
A 22 year old male was arrested earlier this week after motorists on the highway saw him huffing computer dusters behind the wheel of his car. Men in a moving van noticed him huffing, stopped the truck, pulled him out of the car, and moved his jeep out of traffic. An officer noticed traffic backing up and when he spoke with the driver his "pupils were pin dot size, his speech was slow, and he was unsteady on his feet." He was arrested on a compliant of public intoxication and was released from jail the following day.

Wisconsin Tightens DUI Law
From WEAU News in Wisconsin
Police in Wisconsin have arrested and charged a 42 year old woman with her fifth consecutive DUI (driving under the influence of an illegal substance) after she rolled her truck on a busy interstate highway. Accident reports cite the woman as being heavily intoxicated at the time of the crash and ‘huffing’ computer duster. A passerby who witnessed the accident and stopped to help told police they found the driver still 'huffing' after the crash. She was issued a non-alcohol related DUI as a result of driving while high off computer duster. The woman escaped without injury and was arrested on the scene.
Wisconsin is just one of the many states implementing more aggressive and tighter driver safety laws regarding driving while ‘under the influence.’ DUI charges are now being issued to individuals who operate a motor vehicle while impaired from ANY substance or product.
