For at least the fourth time, a Wheeling man has been caught huffing paint.

Patrick Tribett, 42, has had a history of huffing paint - and being caught - since 1998.

He was arrested again Sunday after Wheeling police said they found him on 16th and Main Streets intoxicated and covered in paint.

Tribett was transported to the Northern Regional Jail and charged with public intoxication.

Just last week, police found Tribett huffing paint under the Interstate 470 bridge. Police said when they found him, Tribett looked right at them but continued huffing.

At that time, police said Tribett's mouth and clothes were covered in gold paint, and police weren't even able to process him immediately because of his intoxicated condition.

Tribett was also arrested in July 2005 when police found him covered in gold paint, attempting to buy more at a Dollar General in Bellaire. Soon after, his mug shot received national attention.

Tribett was arrested on similar charges in 1998.
