An alleged serial huffer (someone addicted to inhalants) was caught in the act on video by a customer at the Menards store in Richmond Heights in January, getting high from compressed cans of air in the aisles, Fox 2 reported.
The customer shared the video with Fox2/KPLR11 and also with law enforcement.
In the video the man shake as he sniffs in the inhalant. He then laughs and screams and later bursts into an incoherent song, according to KPLR.

He walked into traffic in front of me on Eager Rd last fall. I called the police on him and waited until they got there. He almost died and my child would have been in the car if I ran him over. It’s not addict shaming…. he’s genuinely a danger to himself and everyone else.
too bad he can’t overdose by doing this. We don’t need addicts in society
Well Heather thats really nice, you sound like a really quality individual. You know that guy is someones son, brother, whatever. Back at ya!
Please seek counseling
Were you held back Heather?
Oh, my. I hope you get some quality therapy. Life’s to short to be so angry.
Shame on you!
There but for the grace of God, go I. Have you never learned compassion? Empathy? Anything?
Why don’t the government buy him a house, give him medical insurance and food stamps, name a program after him, and give him all the money he needs to huff and puff.
sounds like that would be a nice way to help him stop being addicted, good idea dave
Obama’s America…. And taxpayer’s will foot the bill forever for this POS
What?
I understood them to say there is no law against huffing and he paid and left the store.
How about instead of keeping arresting him over and over again, he’s allowed some kind of treatment/ therapy?
How do you know it hasn’t been offered to him? Also, how are you going to force him to go? He has to want to help himself, you can’t force your will on him.
it’s cool to shame addicts like this
