Walnut Hill Man, Three Others Charged After Alleged Overdose On Embalming Fluid, GHB
July 16, 2024
A Walnut Hill man and three others were charged after he allegedly overdosed on GHB and embalming fluid.
At about 8 a.m. Sunday, the Police officers responded to a residence in the 300 block of Beck Street in reference to a possible drug overdose. The responding officer encountered several people on the property and was informed the unconscious person drank a cocktail consisting of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) and embalming fluid, a combination police said is commonly known as “Scoot”.
During the officer’s interaction with the other individuals at the scene he discovered there might be additional narcotics in camper on the property. The officer contacted Atmore Police narcotics investigators who obtained a search warrant.
Atmore Police Sgt. Darrell McMann said investigators executed the search warrant and discovered methamphetamine, numerous other items that have yet to be identified and numerous other items that are commonly used to ingest narcotics.
After being treated and released from the hospital, 29-year-old Shawn Michael Boutwell of Walnut Hill was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Leslie Anita Whiting, age 35 of Atmore, was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and disorderly conduct.
McMann said Whiting claimed to have overdosed and was transported to the Atmore Community Hospital. He said she became irate and confrontational with hospital staff when she thought law enforcement was not present.
Police also charged 47-year-old Amy Jo Louise Nelson of Daytona Beach and 44-year-old Jonathan Alexander Schinasi of Lake Butler, Florida, with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

In about 50 years, embalming fluid dispensaries will be legal.
47??? The embalming fluid is not working.
People like this need a real relationship with Jesus. I know because I used to be a drug dealer an alcoholic and just downright wicked. I lost everything that I had and slept under bridges abandoned buildings and ate out of a dumpster. If God could get a hold of me he can get a hold of anybody. I had an experience with hell, but Jesus through his love and mercy brought me out. They need somebody to stand in the gap and make up the hedge. Jesus loves them. He is the only remedy for sin no matter how far you have gone.
@Fiorina ~ you’re about a century behind on the use of formaldehyde in food products. Might be time to find a different conspiracy theorist to listen to.
Embalming fluid is used in most commercial food production. ( preservatives)
And I’m sure these people are in desperate need of mental health but also the addiction I’m sure I’s overwhelming!!! And completely out of control!! Only they can possibly stop it but highly unlikely!! Most people that get this far gone usually continue until death !!!
A lot more are doing this kind of stuff that don’t get caught.
Nothing will help them until they want help and to stop.
Its sad.
Sad to say you can’t fix stupid.
There are thousands of medicines for all types of sickness. However, there are NO medications for stupid!
This is just so unbelievable to me. They are in need of mental health professionals.
Just when I’ve thought that I did something stupid, I can read stories like this and feel better. Because of the drug use, they all look older than they really are. I hope that they can all get treatment for addictions, mental health, and respond positively.
Not the first time Ms. Whiting has seen handcuffs because of narcotics.
How do they get embalming fluid? This world has gone crazy.
Pitiful that they all look like Zombies and don’t care. What a waste of what could be a wonderful life. I hope they have sense enough to seek help now. They all look much older than they are.
This is SAD! When people get to THIS point in their lives it’s over with. There’s only one way they can kick this pitiful excuse for a life and I pray they find it before it’s too late. Whatever happened to enjoying your coffee at 8am on a SONday morning? I reckon embalming fluid is the new “go to”. Every last one of these people need help and jail time. This is just pitiful…I bet their family is so proud!
Drinking embalming fluid? This is the first time I’ve ever heard of such & it’s absolutely unbelievable. With all the illegal drugs on the streets today these clowns chose to drink embalming fluid. The states gonna have to re-open mental institutions.
WHAT.????? EMBALMING Fluid.????
Sounds like they were ready for the final party.
Cannot imagine the sad conditions of some folks.
Where will they go from here?
