Man Caught Driving 'Under the Influence' of Computer Duster
From The Rapid City Journal in South Dakota
Yesterday a 24-year-old male was arrested after he was caught driving under the influence of inhalants- his third related offense. He is being charged on three felony counts of driving under the influence, vehicular battery and fleeing the scene of an accident. The driver reportedly passed out behind the wheel of a Ford Taurus after ‘huffing’ computer duster; hitting two vehicles before crashing into a tree.
Witnesses told police they saw the suspect “rear-end a postal delivery truck” and “hit a parked car” near an elementary school Thursday morning. “Accident investigators estimate the vehicle was traveling down the street at a speed of 30-35 mph. No life-threatening injuries were reported, but the suspect’s mother, who was riding in the vehicle at the time of the accident, was taken to a nearby hospital for a broken leg.
Witnesses also reported “watching the suspect conceal something in the car’s trunk” before he fled the scene. Police quickly arrested the suspect within a few blocks of the accident, and found two cans of computer duster in the trunk. The suspect is expected to face additional criminal charges.

Grieving Mother Seeks Justice
From WLBT 3 News in Jackson, Mississippi
In 2008, two Lincoln County teenagers were killed in a horrific car accident when the vehicle they were riding in “went airborne, flipped, and landed on top of them.” Accident reports reveal that a total of six teens were present in the car at the time of the crash. The vehicle’s driver, who was behind the wheel despite having a suspended license passed out and lost control of the car after “using an inhalant to get high.”
More than a year has passed and no charges have been filed against the young driver. A mother who lost her daughter in the crash is speaking out and demanding legal action be taken against the responsible party. She believes the driver was under the influence of inhalants- computer duster when he lost control; claiming several of the teen passengers (her daughter included) to have been ‘huffing’ the cleaner and “getting dusted” prior to the accident.
Toxicology tests found traces of diflouroethane (a chemical found in computer duster) in the driver’s blood, but no criminal charges have been pressed. Eight cans of computer duster were reportedly found at the crash scene. The Lincoln County District Attorney is currently reviewing the accident report and is expected to rule on whether enough evidence is available “to prove a crime was committed” sometime next week.
