For the fifth time, a Benwood man has been arrested for huffing paint.

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

He was arrested again after Wheeling police responded to calls and found him intoxicated in a parked car.

When police ordered him from the vehicle, a plastic bag and a can of spray paint fell from his lap. Police said Tribett was also armed with a kitchen knife in his pants' pocket.

Tribett will be extradited to Ohio, where he is wanted on a parole violation for felonious assault.

Last month, police found Tribett huffing paint under the Interstate 470 bridge. Police said when they found him, Tribett looked right at them but continued huffing. He was arrested again the next week for the same act.

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.

He was also arrested on similar charges in 1998.
