Robert Pry Hid In Kmart, Huffed 16 Cans Of Air Duster, Woke Up Covered In Own Filth: Police

He told police he'd been "huffin.'"

Robert Pry faces commercial burglary, theft, and other charges stemming from an alleged inhalants binge.

Pry was discovered passed out in the storage room of a Jonesboro, Ark., Kmart on the morning of Sept. 1. The 21-year-old was found "covered in vomit and urine" with 16 empty cans of air duster nearby. When police arrived at the scene, Pry reportedly told officers that he'd hid out in the store until it closed, then found the air duster and “huffed all night long."

As Gawker pointed out, the 16-can binge was preceded by a self-financed inhalants romp at Walmart.

Police found several more empty cans of duster in a truck that Pry said he'd borrowed from a friend. The man told police he'd spent $100 on duster at Walmart, and staged the alleged burglary at Kmart after he'd ran out.

According to the police, Pry said he was “addicted to huffing.” No kidding.

Considering that inhalant abuse has proved lethal before, the sheer amount that Pry consumed means that he's lucky to be alive.

In March, a 14-year-old honors student in Los Angeles died after inhaling air duster. According to KTLA, the girl's older sister "found her in bed with a can of compressed air still attached to her mouth, her nostrils taped shut."

In 2011, an Atlanta-area teen died after huffing compressed air from dust cleaner and ingesting other substances.
