BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - A Billings man who crashed a car into a house after huffing canned air has been given an eight-year suspended sentence.

The Billings Gazette reports (https://bit.ly/1EaZU9i ) a Yellowstone County District Court judge gave Ty Raymond Wetch the sentence Monday as part of a plea agreement.

Twenty-seven-year-old Wetch pleaded guilty to criminal endangerment for the crash and criminal possession of dangerous drugs in a separate incident as part of the agreement. He will also enroll in a rehabilitation program.

Wetch was driving on Sept. 22, 2013, with his two young children and a 20-year-old woman when he lost consciousness and crashed into a house in Billings. The woman told officers she and Wetch had inhaled from a can of Dust Off and that Wetch had taken prescription medication before the crash.
