Illinois Man Charged with Reckless Homicide After Killing Three


Via Quad-Cities Online in Illinois:

Earlier this morning, Judge Ted Hamer of Henry County Court District in Illinois charged a twenty-year-old man with reckless homicide and aggravated driving under the influence. The driver is connected with three previous deaths which took place in November of 2012 during a car accident.

While it was first unclear whether the driver was having seizures or huffing, it soon became clear to authorities that he was abusing inhalants. A toxicologist confirmed the man was huffing using various pieces of evidence such as the weight loss in the can discovered at the scene, and the driver's history of "blacking out."

The driver could face anywhere from six to twenty-eight years in prison, with a possible but very slim chance of probation.

Michigan Man Sent to Hospital Twice in Two Days for Huffing



Via the Saline Reporter in Michigan:

A 25 year old male has been caught huffing keyboard cleaners twice over a two day period.

Police responded to a call for a man passed out in a restaurant restroom and found the man lying on the floor, still holding the product. When they attempted to take it from him he started screaming, was handcuffed, and his body started shaking uncontrollably. A second can was found in the trash nearby.

He was discharged from the hospital the next day and took a taxi home--but along the way had the driver stop at a store. When he returned to the cab he was inhaling from a can of keyboard cleaner and shortly after,  the cab driver called police when the man started having seizures. 

When police arrived they noticed the man was still inhaling from the can. He was subdued so they could get the can away from him and he was transported back to the hospital
