Does This Look Like the face of a man arrested for the 48th time for huffing paint?

Well, does it?


A Fort Wayne man was charged with inhaling toxic vapors for the 48th time after his wife called police and told them he was huffing paint in their apartment last Thursday. According to a Fort Wayne Police Department report, when an officer arrived at the 517 Lawton Place apartment, Elizabeth Gibson said she and her husband Kelly had been in an argument and he had gone upstairs to huff paint. The report said since she was afraid to go inside, she handed the officer her keys and followed him up. When the officer opened the door, the entire apartment smelled of paint fumes and Kelly was found sitting on the couch with his shirt off, and his hands, mouth, nose and chin covered in silver paint. This incident was the 48th time Kelly was charged with inhaling since 1992.

no it does not, but the tell-tale metallic tint to his complexion gives it away

He should immediately seek out a local theater putting on "The Wizard of Oz" He's a shoe-in for the Tin Man. He's probably have difficulty remembering the lines though!

I'm curious as to why inhaling paint fumes is actually illegal.

Couldn't every painter on the planet essentially be arrested?

At an apartment I lived at some years back, there was a paint huffer that hung out in a bus-stop shelter nearby. One day my roommate (who was kind of an ass) decided to take the guy's boombox. Not because he wanted a silver-paint spattered worthless old boombox, but he just wanted to F with the guy. So he walks up and takes it, and walks away. The huffer slowly says "hey man, that's mine", and he gets up, takes a few steps to follow my roommate... looks back at his paint can... turns back around and sits down for another huff.

I am pretty cool with people doing stupid things for a laugh, but I personally find anyone who messes with the less fortunate to be lower than low, and would love a chance to "have a talk" with this s***bag.

Meh. Was it the right thing to do? No. But honestly, I have no sympathy for the druggies.

Oooooooooooo ... sensitive. Your choice of the "less fortunate" term intrigues me.

Yes, ones that kill fewer brain cells. I can't imagine the hangover generated from huffing.

Being a drunk is expensive. Solvents are far more effective for the severely budget-constrained.

Yeah, but at least it's socially acceptable.

@munji, yes less fortunate, you may see them huffing paint in the bus stop now, but who knows what brought them there, mental issues, severe abuse whatever. I am in no way a saint or anything, but I don't f*** with the homeless. Whether their huffing paint, drinking alcohol, or smoking crack. Their life obviously sucks and I've never felt the need to make it suck anymore.

I also, would be interested to know why huffing paint is illegal.

I'm not sure on your definition of "Druggies", but if you are referring to those who are deeply caught up in addiction, they are probably often the ones who need your sympathy the most.

Heres a question for you. Why?
