TRIANGLE, VA—A man broke into a Walmart, inhaled from cans of air freshener, left the store and promptly passed out early Monday, according to Prince William County Police. Logan Vinton Epperly, 27, of the 18400 block of Woodland Drive in Triangle, was charged with burglary and inhaling drugs or other noxious chemical substances.
Shortly after 4 a.m., police responded to a burglary at Walmart's 17041 Jefferson Davis Highway location. Overnight employees said an unknown man was seen walking around the business after closing hours, and police found him "incapacitated" outside the business.
Their investigation found he entered the store through a narrow opening and stole several cans of air freshener and then inhaled from them, presumably for a buzz. After he was found, he was taken to a local hospital as a precaution and then taken to jail.
