Bizarre Standoff Between LAPD & Nitrous Junkie & Balloons

submitted by mintbbb

YouTube Description:

A man wanted on suspicion of drunken driving led police Friday on a slow-speed pursuit, pulled over and started inhaling from balloons in a bizarre standoff that ended with officers smashing his window and pulling him from the vehicle.

The suspect was identified by his father, who was at the scene, as 24-year-old Jorge Leonardo Sanchez.

His father said Sanchez had problems in the past with nitrous oxide, an inhalant typically known as laughing gas that when huffed creates a feeling of euphoria.

Aerial video showed the man inhaling from balloons and then refilling them with some sort of tank inside the car.

At 11:12 a.m., six police officers with guns drawn approached the vehicle. After talking to Sanchez through the passenger-side window, one of the officers fired a low-impact BB round into the car, striking him.

Police then swarmed the vehicle. One officer smashed in the driver-side window, opened the door and pulled the man to the ground.
