Inhaling man arrested for the 48th time

A Fort Wayne man was charged with inhaling toxic vapours 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. Police said Kelly had a can of silver spray paint in his right hand and a paint-covered plastic bag in his left.

The officer said Kelly had a dazed, glassy-eyed look about him and was unsteady on his feet. Kelly was taken to the Allen County Jail and charged with inhaling toxic vapours. This incident was the 48th time Kelly was charged with inhaling since 1992.

That's like arresting a guy for drinking in his own home... If he wants to kill himself he has the right! She's stupid to still be with him after the first 2 times! Leave the guy alone to rot if that's what he wants to do. sheesh.
