4/16/14 - A trial date will be set for a man police say huffed air duster and crashed his car into a Hartland Township fire hydrant. 24-year-old Nicholas Perry is charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana for the incident last summer. He waived his preliminary exam in court this week, which sends his case to circuit court for trial. 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 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 un-opened alcohol containers and intoxicants, multiple over the counter narcotics, and suspected illegal narcotics. Perry, who was on parole at the time of the incident for a home invasion conviction in Oakland County, remains lodged with the Michigan Department of Corrections at the Charles Egeler Reception and Guidance Center in Jackson.
