Via The State in South Carolina:
A 52 year old woman was arrested this past weekend after police found her huffing from a can of computer duster outside of a CVS Pharmacy.
Police responding to the call found the woman on the ground and as they approached, she stood up and was very unsteady on her feet. She inhaled from the can as officers were talking with her and again as they were walking to the police car, which led the officer to put her in handcuffs. She was taken to the hospital for examination and then transported to the detention facility.

Another Suicide Due to Inhalant Abuse
Via WisconsinWatch.Org
Sadly, yet another case of a suicide related to inhalant abuse.
The article describes how fifteen years ago, a 14 year-old boy tragically took his own life while high on glue. He had been huffing glue with his younger brother when they got into an argument over mowing the lawn. His older brother’s wife smelled the glue and called police out of concern for his safety.
The boy then hid in the closet of a locked bedroom and when the officers entered the trailer he shot himself with a hunting rifle.

Police Officers Brace Attack From 'Huffer'
From the Purcell Register in Oklahoma:
A 25 year old man who had been huffing is responsible for injuring two police officers. He was “charged with a felony of assault on a police officer, and three misdemeanors of inhaling a toxic substance, resisting an existing officer and public intoxication.”
An officer confronted the man after the man was “looking around as if he did not know where he was.” As the officer approached, the man “placed a can of computer duster up to his face” and admitted he had been huffing from the can. The man then began to “shake violently, dropping his lighter.” He then started huffing from the can again.
Police officers tried to take the can but the man fought them off. As they handcuffed him, he atatcked them, breaking the hand of one officer. A second officer was injured as they tried to place the man in the car.

'Huffing' Teen Prompts Hospital Chaos
From Bucks County Courier Times in Pennsylvania
A 17 year old Pennsylvania boy faces felony charges after he erratically attacked local police and hospital staff late last week. The boy’s unprovoked aggression is being linked to ‘huffing.’
Warwick County Police Chief Joseph Costello reported that in addition to generating a loud disturbance, the suspect pulled out intravenous lines, spit blood at nurses, and kicked police officers attempting to restrain him.
Police arrested the boy after they found him and a 21 year old male trespassing in a condominium complex around 4 am. Nearby resident complaints led authorities to discover the intruders ‘huffing’ balloons filled with carbon dioxide. Police also recovered several cartridges of the gas from the scene, which were used to inflate the balloons.
The suspect was transported to the hospital after police grew concerned for his safety, citing suspicious changes in mood state as he “vacillated between lethargy and aggression.”
Following his medical release, the teen was transferred to a local juvenile detention center and charged with “criminal trespass, aggravated assault, assault by prisoner, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct.”
