In Fort Wayne, Indiana this past week a man was arrested for huffing spray paint for the 48th time; the first incident was in 1992.

Kelley Gibson got into an argument with his wife, Elizabeth Gibson, and went upstairs in a huff to inhale the the toxic fumes, according to authorities.

After Mrs. Gibson called the police, they arrived to find the apartment reeking of fumes. Mr. Gibson was shirtless and held a plastic bag covered in paint in his left hand and the can of paint in his right. His face was also covered with the silver paint. The police took him to jail on charges of inhaling toxic vapors.

Note: the only funny thing about this story is the mug shot, and huffing seems like probably one of the saddest things out there. TC mark

    why this is ILLEGAL is a fucking outrage on its own right. guy inhales toxic fumes in his apartment. doesn't go driving or do something to endanger anybody but himself. fucking ridiculous. but yes the mugshot is hilarious

      Because, Wad: what good is all that time and money we've spent creating an even more obnoxious version of the European nanny state if we don't keep arresting people for doing things like this?

    Winners never quit, and quitters never win. Keep your eyes on the prize, Mr. Gibson – you can't win it if you're not in it.

    1. How is he still married?
    2. Seriously, did they run out of alcoholism in 1992?

      1. Think about the disastrous choices women have made throughout history in regards to choosing a mate. Not surprising to me. Bet he's got a killer sense of humor, right ladies??!?!
