Huff, Huff, Boom
A man walked into a police station in North Hollywood, Calif., and told officers that he had been trying to get high in his truck by “huffing” propane. While doing that, he also decided to plug his cell phone charger into the truck’s auxiliary outlet, creating a spark that ignited the propane.
