Man Suspected of Huffing Bites Police Officer

Via the Sun Herald in Mississippi:

Police were called to a hotel in Moss Point after hotel officials requested backup while dismissing a man who lived and worked at the hotel. According to reports, the man became extremely agitated while he was escorted from the property. He then “bit one of the officers and sent him to the hospital.”

The Police Chief suspects that the man had been huffing some sort of chemical prior to the incident, because officers noticed “a very heavy odor of lacquer” in the man’s room.

The man was arrested for assault of a police officer and resisting arrest. The police officer he bit was treated and released from the hospital.

First Nation Gets First Conviction Under Inhalant Bylaw

From the Sault Star in Sault Ste-Marie, Ontario, Canada

On Monday, a 31year-old woman pleaded guilty to “bringing two 3.78 litre cans of lacquer” into the First Nation community.

This marks the first conviction under a March 2008 bylaw that “prohibits the sale, manufacture, possession and consumption of inhalants in Wabaseemoong First Nation.” The article notes that the bylaw was enacted "to protect the community and the community members against the injurious effects of intoxicating substance abuse."
