Man Arrested for Throwing Oranges at Planes
TEXT SIZE:
AAA
Police have arrested an Arizona man who they say was throwing oranges at planes at a Phoenix-area airport. Officers responded to a disturbance call at Mesa's Falcon Field municipal airport and found 33-year-old Brian Henio sitting in an orange grove.
He had a green jug to his lips and had been sniffing spray paint, police tell the Arizona Republic.
Henio admitted throwing the oranges and told officers he didn't understand why it was a big deal.
Police say Henio was "extremely jittery," unable to answer some of their questions, and had to be wrestled to the ground when they tried to handcuff him.
He was charged with possession of a vapor releasing substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and trespassing.

As for the huffing (that's what it's called)I guess he found out we voted down the legalization of marijuana and was just huffing away his sorrows.

November 11 2010 at 9:24 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyIt's illegal to possess a "vapor releasing substance?" What the hell do people in Arizona use for spray paint? Gasoline? Paint thinner? Solvents of any kind? Nail polish? Etc. I've been a huge supporter of AZ and their immigration legislation, but this one just sounds stupid. . .
November 11 2010 at 9:23 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyDusty - I get that. The article says the guy had been sniffing spray paint, which I'll grant you is probably not the healthiest thing to do on purpose (although I'll confess that I've never minded the smell when I'm actually painting something). What gets me is that he was apparently cited for possessing a vapor releasing substance, basically for owning paint - not for sniffing it. And, really, even though sniffing paint would undoubtedly be a serious health hazard, can the government really cite you for sniffing stuff that's not listed on a controlled substance list? The whole story is just weird. . .
