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
