Woman accused of 'huffing' cleaner
A Moncks Corner woman is accused of "huffing" carburetor cleaner Tuesday afternoon behind the Auto Zone on Remount Road in North Charleston.
The 29-year-old woman bought the can about noon and went outside to the back of the building, a police report states. Employees called authorities because the woman had bought the same thing a few weeks earlier and passed out behind the building.
An officer arrived and found the woman with the can at her mouth and a strong smell of fumes in the air, the report said. It states she was arrested and charged with unlawful use of aromatic hydrocarbons.

I went to buy gas the other day and I noted the clear presence of second hand aromatic hydrocarbons in the air.

They will arrest a person for anything in this state. I could see it if she had not paid for the cleaner.. her life.. if she's an adult, let her make her own choices, stupid as they may be.... don't talk too loudly.. you might get locked up....

The Post and Courier doesn't really post news anymore, so I know every morning I get to read the comics. Growing up I used to LOVE the comic cartoons, as an adult, I love the "news".
:)
Really... when will someone step in and say, "we need news people". How about getting rid of those who do not do news and hiring people that do!?

Parents of young children who read this article may wish to make sure their household aerosol and liquid cleaners are kept in a secured lower kitchen cabinet, or in a high cabinet beyond children's reach.

A few more cans and she's on her way to her own episode of Intervention, that's assuming there's someone at home who gives a rats behind!
She paid for it. It's hers to do with what she wants! We have to stop protecting morons from themselves. The fewer idiots there are the fewer chances they have to reproduce. Charge her with being a public nuisance and let her go back to killing brain cells. Stop wasting my tax money!

Very smart alert employee's! good job. It's a shame that someone feels the need to do such damage to the one and only body they will ever have. Life is too short to make the worst of it.
