A man was twice arrested this weekend for huffing compressed air, the second time after he was spotted laying in the road near Caton Farm and Rivertowne Drive, Joliet Police Cmdr. Al Roechner said.

David L. Terry, 25, of 5204 Burgess Drive, Joliet, was picked up the first time at about 11:20 a.m. Friday at 333 Madison St., not far from Presence St. Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, police reports show. He was charged with unlawful use of intoxicating compounds and released on a recognizance bond.

A little more than 24 hours later, at about 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Terry was spotted prone in the roadway by a passing Joliet police sergeant and charged with use, sale or delivery of intoxicating compounds and violation of a bond requirement, Roechner said.

He is being held in the Will County jail pending a bond hearing.

In November 2009 and August 2008, he was also arrested on unlawful use of an intoxicating compound charges, records show.
