4/3/14 - A man who police say admitted to huffing air duster after crashing his vehicle into a fire hydrant last year in Hartland Township has been arraigned. 24-year-old Nicholas Perry has been charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana for the incident last summer. On August 22nd of 2013, Troopers with the State Police Brighton Post were called out on a crash investigation to the Kroger parking lot on M-59 in Hartland Township. Once there they found a car driven by Perry had collided with a fire hydrant. Perry, who was on parole for a previous home invasion conviction, said he passed out while inhaling an air duster product as he drove in the parking lot. Troopers discovered approximately eighteen cans of compressed gas duster, as well as open and unopened alcohol containers and intoxicants, multiple over the counter narcotics, and suspected illegal narcotics. After a lengthy delay awaiting toxicology reports, Perry was finally charged on March 20th with an arraignment scheduled for less than a week later. But that was delayed when the Michigan Department of Corrections took him back to the Charles Egeler Reception and Guidance Center in Jackson. His attorney asked that Perryâs exam conference be delayed for investigation and to find out the outcome of the parole hearing. The exam is now set for April 15th. (JK)
