Convicted Rapist Caught Huffing in Newport, Oregon

From KVAL.com in Oregon:

A convicted rapist in Newport, Oregon was caught huffing from an aerosol can last Saturday on a no-bail warrant for a parole violation.

The man was contacted after the police received reports about a man inhaling fumes from a can. He was first taken to the hospital, due to his highly intoxicated nature.

Once released, he was arrested on parole violation charges from convictions for rape and robbery. He was also charged for disorderly conduct.

Possession Extends Probation

From Watertown Daily News in New York

A Watertown, New York man accused of breaking into “Watertown Builders Supply, in March 2005 and stealing $650 in tools was resentenced to a year in the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building” after violating his probation in connection with the 2005 robbery of a local hardware store.

He will serve an additional year on top of his prior 5 year conviction due to his illegal possession of a noxious gas and suspected 'huffing' of paint thinner earlier last month.

Many county and state governments across the nation are begginning to impose tougher preemptive measures to eradicate improper use of inhalants.
