Breach of peace, inhale harmful chemicals. Two days in a row, a Naples, Florida woman was found unconscious after inhaling aerosol spray cans of compressed air in a local grocery store.
Law enforcement and medical personnel responded to the grocery store where the woman was unconscious in the bathroom. The store manager told police that the woman was in the store the day before as well and did the same thing, according to an arrest report.
Both times, he said, the woman was “causing several disruptions” in the store before she went into the bathroom. The cans of compressed air were also stolen from the store, the store manager said. Despite that, the business did not press charges for the theft.
The woman was taken to the hospital. After she was cleared, Sheriff’s Office deputies placed the woman under arrest.

Loitering. Suspects accused of firing a handgun out an SUV window in Volusia County were found hiding from police in a Flagler Beach restaurant’s bathroom stall.
According to an arrest report, no one was injured in the incident, but the SUV was seen driving into Flagler County. When the vehicle was spotted at a local restaurant and bar, local police officers were dispatched to talk to the driver.
A man matching the driver’s description and a woman matching the description of a passenger in the SUV walked into the bar, ordered two drinks and then quickly went into the bathroom when police entered the restaurant, the arrest report said.
The two were found in a stall in the women’s restroom and were placed under arrest. The woman told police that no gun was fired — instead, she said they had ignited a firework in the SUV while driving, and that was what the witness saw, the report said.
