A Kentucky woman is facing prostitution charges for allegedly trading sex for gasoline. Angela Eversole, 34, was nabbed last weekend during a police stakeout at a Days Inn, where she allegedly had a tryst with Kenneth Nowak. According to court records, Nowak admitted paying for Eversole's services, in part, with a 100-dollar Speedway gas card. Eversole was hit with a prostitution rap and also charged with doing business without an occupational license. Nowak was charged with promoting prostitution. A local prosecutor noted that it was sad to see someone selling their body for gas, in this case about 25 gallons worth.--Originally reported by The Smoking Gun.

James Keown has been found guilty of the slow, poisoning murder of his 31-year-old wife -- by spiking her Gatorade. A Middlesex Superior Court jury declared the former radio employee guilty of first-degree murder in Woburn, Massachusetts. Judge Sydney Hanlon sentenced Keown to life in prison without parole, the mandatory sentence. Keown, 34, spiked his wife's Gatorade with antifreeze while they lived in Waltham in 2004 slowly and painfully killing her. His wife slipped into a coma in September of 2004 and later died. Prosecutors said her husband murdered her for her 250-thousand-dollar life-insurance policy. Prosecutors said Keown used his laptop in the summer of 2004 sampling ways "to kill" a human with ethylene glycol, using the name of Kevin Spacey's Usual Suspects villain "Keyser Soze." His wife, a registered nurse, spent her last hours surfing the Internet for a miracle means "to live."--Originally reported by The Boston Herald.

A California convenience store became an unwilling drive-in when a 74-year-old woman plowed her car through the front window and then tried to buy a six-pack of Budweiser, police and the owner said. Lynne Rice drove her 1988 Cadillac into Joe's Food Mart and Video. The car plowed about halfway through the store but nobody was injured. Rice got out of the car, walked over to the cooler and pulled out a six-pack of Budweiser beer, said the store owner. He said the cashier declined the sale and instead called police. Rice was taken to a hospital for examination because she had a pre-existing medical condition, police said. She was arrested for investigation of misdemeanor driving under the influence and released on 15-thousand-dollars bail.--Originally reported by The Long Beach Press-Telegram.

Last week's storms flooded some Clintonville, Ohio houses with water and others with ingredients for salad dressing. But don't pull out your carrot sticks yet. Storm water combined with sewage from the T. Marzetti Company, a producer of salad dressings, overwhelmed the storm-sewer system and flooded at least 10 nearby homes, an Ohio E-P-A representative said. Resident Steven Maiken says, "It's creamy-ranch-dressing-looking crap. It's not toxic waste, but we did have to throw away a lot of stuff. We tried to wash it off over and over again." Maiken reported the problem to the Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday as he and his neighbors grew increasingly confident that their basements had been invaded by salad toppings.--Originally reported by The Columbus Dispatch

A 46-year-old Florida man, Gregory Praeger, is facing a battery charge for allegedly striking his mother in the head with a pack of Polish sausage. Praeger flung the three-pound package during an argument Saturday night, according to a DeLand Police Department report. The woman, who told cops that her son had been drinking at the time of the dispute, was grazed with the sausage, but not harmed. In an interview with cops, Praeger, admitted pulling the pork stunt.--Originally reported by The Smoking Gun.

Even in cool water, the heat will catch up with you. Police in Portland, Oregon fished two skinny-dippers out of the Mount Tabor Reservoir over the weekend. It's illegal, dangerous and somewhat disgusting to drop your pants and jump into the city's drinking water, but Reservoir Six is divided into two sections. The pool in question wasn't in use at the time. If it had been, the Water Bureau said it would have shut down the system and considered dumping millions of gallons of water. That was done this past spring when someone dumped a gallon of latex paint, a construction cone and hundreds of fliers into the reservoir. Busted this weekend were Ryan Langsdorf, 28, and Ashley Moyer, 23. They were cited for trespassing.--Originally reported by The Oregonian.

A housewife is getting her ninth boob job to take her to a G-G cup. 28-year-old mom-of-one Sheyla Hershey is already a 34-Triple-F and has a place in the record books. She carries more than two liters of silicone in her implants and has had eight surgeries in five years. She says, "I think big boobies look beautiful. I am just following my dream and I won't let anyone stop me." Sheyla, who lives in Texas, plans to fly back to her native Brazil to get the op done. She cannot get them enlarged in the U-S because laws limit the amount of silicone a person can have in each breast. Doctor Robert Rey, plastic surgeon to the stars, has allegedly warned her, "Your breasts could literally burst." --Originally reported by The London Sun

A 10-year-old boy with obsessive-compulsive disorder thought the 9-11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York were his fault, according to a new report. Leading psychologists say the boy thought the September 11th attacks happened because he did not step on a particular white mark on the road that day. Experts from University College London believe it is the first time a patient has blamed himself for a major terrorist attack.In a report published in the journal Neurocase, experts said the boy, who suffers from O-C-D and Tourette's syndrome, was wracked with guilt after the attack. Mary Robinson, a psychologist at U-C-L, says his condition forced him "to step correctly on a particular white mark on the road" every day. But on "September 11th, the day of the atrocities, he forgot to do this and therefore thought the World Trade Center attack was his personal fault." --Originally reported by The U-K Daily Telegraph

Sheriff's detectives say a Summerfield, Florida man and his girlfriend, who are accused of drilling holes in gas tanks to steal gas, slipped up when one of them behind left a drill with his name etched on it. 44-year-old John Oldenburg and 39-year-old Darlene Kimbriel wound up in jail facing numerous charges, including grand theft, burglary of a conveyance and criminal mischief, according to sheriff's office records. Because deputies say they found a methamphetamine lab at the home, the two also face drug charges. In the most recent gas-stealing case, deputies found a drill with "J. Oldenburg" etched in the tool. Asked why his drill was at the scene, Oldenburg blamed his girlfriend. --Originally reported by The Ocala Star-Banner

A Grand Junction, Colorado man was arrested last week on suspicion of attempting to coerce his girlfriend into having sex by threatening to zap her with a stun gun. Christopher Morgen Taylor, 30, turned on a Taser three times early Tuesday morning after his girlfriend refused to have sex with him, according to an arrest affidavit. Taylor's girlfriend told police that Taylor turned the Taser on and said to her, "I don't normally do this to anybody, but..." His girlfriend said she told Taylor to turn off the Taser because it was "freaking her out," and she uttered a profanity and left the room, the affidavit said. She told police she was scared her boyfriend was going to use the device on her. Officers with the Grand Junction Police Department located a stun gun on Taylor's bedroom nightstand after Taylor gave officers permission to search the house, the affidavit said. --Originally reported by The Grand Junction Sentinel.

Flint, Michigan's new police chief is saying no to crack. Acting Flint Police Chief David R. Dicks announced that officers will begin arresting people wearing pants or shorts that sag too low, exposing rear ends. The crackdown on buttocks is an apparent response to "significant" complaints from citizens, according to Dicks. Under the chief's orders, any sworn officer who sees "sagging/exposing buttocks" will have probable cause to make an arrest under the city's disorderly person ordinance -- a misdemeanor punishable by a 500-dollar fine and three months in jail. --Originally reported by The Flint Journal.

From now on, Jerome Klein will refuse tea time. Klein, 50, was released from Broward County, Florida jail Friday after a judge ruled a Bolivian tea he drank was the reason he failed a drug test and violated the terms of his bond. The tea, called Mate de Coca, made from the coca plant, was given to Klein by his mother just days before a random drug test in April. He failed the test and was thrown back in jail. Klein has been allowed to stay out of jail while he awaited trial on a burglary charge. In May, prosecutors said Klein's urine contained too high a concentration of cocaine to be caused by drinking tea. But Friday, Theodore Mastos, a former Miami-Dade County judge, convinced Circuit Judge John Murphy the Third that Klein was the unknowing victim of the herbal brew. Klein has no criminal history aside from the burglary allegations and has never been arrested on drug charges, records show. Broward Sheriff's Office lab technicians and state prosecutors had originally agreed with Klein's mother, Shulamit Klein, that the tea was the reason for the skewed drug test results. Shulamit Klein said, "I made the tea. It was my fault. I won't use the tea anymore.'' --Originally reported by The Miami Herald.

A computer error caused a Cincinnati area service station to sell gas for a-dollar-40 instead of four-dollars-and-10-cents, leading to a major traffic jam. Vehicles clogged the area around a Marathon station in suburban SycamoreTownship while the bargain was available for roughly three hours on Tuesday, until HamiltonCounty sheriff's deputies persuaded the station to shut down. Tiffany Smith waited in line for two hours to take advantage of the deal. She says these days, her family has to decide between buying food or buying gas, and the fuel price glitch would allow her to do both. The store clerk said he didn't know how to fix the problem and was having trouble reaching his store manager. --Originally reported by The Associated Press.

A Ypsilanti, Michigan man is accused of stabbing his mother in the back with a dinner fork and clubbing another woman over the head with 10 pounds of frozen chicken. Frederick McKaney, 40, also faces a charge of resisting police officers who responded to a reported assault late Monday night. Assistant Prosecutor Mark Blumer said, "He stabbed his mother in the back of the neck when she refused to give him money, and then he attacked a neighbor woman with a chicken." McKaney apparently went to his mother's house early Sunday, woke her at 3 a-m and demanded cash. Blumer said that a day after he stabbed his mother, McKaney was riding a bicycle when he encountered two women talking on the sidewalk on Woodbridge. "He said something nasty to them and they responded in kind. He jumped off his bike and hit one woman over the head with 10 pounds of chicken." The woman was treated at FooteHospital, with a wound on her head being closed by five staples. --Originally reported by The Jackson Citizen Patriot.

Last year, North Carolina state officials notified nearly 10-thousand holders of license plates with the letter combination W-T-F that they could get a replacement at no charge after officials learned that the combination is a common acronym in text messaging for a vulgar phrase, "What the [bleep]." But while tracking down the errant plates, no one at the Division of Motor Vehicles checked their own Web site. "W-T-F-5505" is shown as a sample of a personalized plate. D-M-V Commissioner Bill Gore said, "I can't believe it. Obviously, I didn't know it was there." --Originally reported by Raleigh News and Observer.

First it was a proposed ban on plastic bags. Now, a member of the influential Madison, Wisconsin Plan Commission wants to ban the restaurant drive-through -- or at least restrict the ubiquitous symbol of America's auto-centric lifestyle. Eric Sundquist, who was appointed to the citizen panel, says, "Given the concern about all the carbon going into the atmosphere, I'm not sure we should be building more places for people to sit idling in their cars. Sundquist notes that several cities in Canada have recently moved to ban the drive-through coffee shop or stand-alone fast food restaurant. --Originally reported by The Capital Times.
