Man charged with inhaling toxic vapors and shoplifting

Wesley RobertsonA 21-year-old Salina man was arrested Tuesday afternoon, after officers were sent to the parking lot at Walmart on the report of a suspicious person.

Police Captain Chris Trocheck said officers found Wesley Robertson in the process of inhaling vapors from an aerosol can about 12:15pm in a pickup. Robertson was cited for unlawful abuse of toxic vapors. The battery in Robertson’s pickup was dead, and he told officers he would get a ride home.

An officer was called back to the store at 12:55pm after Robertson allegedly tried to shoplift a can of Ultra Duster from Walmart.

A search of his truck found 14 partial aerosol cans that he apparently had inhaled. It is believed that Robertson had shoplifted some of those cans from the store as well.

Robertson was booked into the Saline County Jail on requested charges of unlawful abuse of toxic vapors and theft.
