I didn’t even know that compressed air could get you high, much less that doing so was illegal. I mean, it’s air. But hey, the more you know.
According to the Las Cruces Sun-News, the New Mexico State Aggies will need a new offensive line coach after the man who was hired less than two weeks ago resigned following two criminal citations for … take a deep breath … huffing compressed air.
Chris Symington was busted twice in a four-day span taking hits of compressed air, with the most recent occurrence taking place in the bathroom of a Las Cruces CVS Pharmacy. Police were called to the scene after Symington locked himself in the bathroom and could be heard sucking in the air.
When police arrived, Symington admitted he wasn’t there to buy cough drops and was instead huffing compressed air.
Symington’s first citation was issued after police found him “slumped over in his vehicle and apparently having seizures.” They also said he was seen inhaling the air from a canister before his body went into convulsions.
Symington’s resignation might put a temporary dent in compressed air sales in Las Cruces, but they’re expected to rise once some other poor bastard takes the job and realizes he’s living in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
