FARGO - Police say a Fargo man convicted nine times of inhaling intoxicating vapors since 2006 was arrested again last weekend - his third arrest for so-called "huffing" in the past two months.
Randy William Mattson, 38, was arrested Saturday evening in the Kmart parking lot on South University Drive after a caller told authorities a man in the driver's seat of a car was having medical problems, Fargo Police Sgt. Mark Lykken said.
Officers found Mattson slumped over in a silver Oldsmobile, Lykken said. Mattson allegedly raised a white can of Maxell Blast Away, a brand of air duster, to his nostril and inhaled the vapors.
Mattson was arrested on suspicion of inhaling intoxicating vapors, which is a Class B misdemeanor.
According to court records, Mattson was convicted of the same charge nine times between August 2006 and March 2010. Two cases remain open stemming from arrests Dec. 14 and Jan. 7.
