HUffing and DUI

The Tennessee DA's will be sponsoring a bill in this Legislature to include "substances that impair" to alcohol and drugs as a basis for DUI. The bill is intended to make these cases easier to prosecute. As it is now, we will almost always have to call a toxicologist to prove that an impairing drug is an ingredient in the inhalant. Below is the lead to the story. Go to the link to see the video of this inhalant impaired driver.
                A Kingsport woman allegedly told police she remembers huffing some computer dust remover Sunday           evening in the Wal-Mart parking lot on Fort Henry Drive, but she blacked out and doesn't remember leaving or wrecking moments later.
