Local officials in Bullhead City, AZ recently reported that the city police arrested six juveniles earlier this week for illegally inhaling, or "huffing," Freon obtained from an air conditioning unit located at the back of an area home.

Reports of such potentially lethal substance abuse have become increasingly common, as Freon is both easily obtainable and viewed as a comparatively inexpensive way to "get high."

Officials noted that five of the children were charged with huffing, a Class 5 felony, while all were transferred to a local medical center for treatment.
