{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Georgia man was arrested after a substance on papers he gave to two police officers allegedly left them feeling dizzy and struggling to breathe, according to a report.
Little Gaston Stone, 51, was charged with aggravated assault after he entered the Smyrna Police Department with the paperwork while complaining about Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and recording the interaction, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.
The officers began suffering from "extreme fatigue, chest pain, chest tightness, dizziness, and difficulty breathing" after touching the papers, the newspaper reported, citing an arrest warrant.
