Williamsport man allegedly used 'whippets' before driving

Williamsport, Pa. — A Williamsport man drove the wrong way on a one-way street while high on nitrous oxide, police say. Williamsport Officer Andrew Stevens was on patrol when he noticed a Volkswagen Jetta stopped at the intersection of Penn and East Third streets around 9:30 p.m. The car was stopped for an unusually long time and when it moved forward, Stevens watched as the driver continued on East Third Street and through the intersection with Mulberry Street that was clearly marked "Do Not Enter." Stevens stopped the driver, identified as 27-year-old Jonathan David Mueller, as he reportedly drove down the wrong way on the one-way street. Mueller was sweating profusely and had a blank stare on his face, Stevens said. There were allegedly two tanks on the passenger side floor of nitrous oxide containers, known as whippets. Nitrous oxide is "commonly abused for the mind altering affects it carries when it is inhaled," Stevens noted. Mueller's appeared slow and sluggish, so Stevens asked him to perform field sobriety testing, charges say. Police said Mueller performed poorly on the tests and was taken into custody. A search of the vehicle turned up several dozen small, clear plastic nitrous oxide canister
