A student was arrested today for seeking to obtain nitrous oxide gas for purpose of inhalation.
The student was arrested following Hanover Police of two search warrants and multiple interviews.
Hanover Police opened an investigation on May 2, after staff at the Hinman Mail Center alerted them to a suspicious package addressed to the student. The package was found to contain four cartons of nitrous oxide gas canisters.

Sealed canisters of nitrous oxide, commonly known as whippits, are known to have an intoxicating effect when inhaled.
