ROSWELL, N.M. – A New Mexico woman is facing charges after police say she put an ad on Craigslist looking to buy drugs.

Roswell police arrested Anamicka Dave after officers posing as sellers arranged to meet her through text messages.

According to the station, Dave's ad said she was new to town and "looking for Mary Jane."

Roswell Police Sgt. Ty Sharpe says he was surprised someone would post an online ad for marijuana and he thought it might be another police sting.

Police met the 29-year-old Albuquerque woman in a parking lot and then arrested her.


DUBLIN – Hundreds of Ireland's judges abandoned their wigs for the first time in centuries Friday after the Irish Courts Service ended the rule requiring them to wear the British-style headgear.

The move is designed to save the taxpayer money in debt-struck Ireland. Until now, each new judge has received a London-made, white-dyed horsehair wig that costs the state about $3,000 each.

Irish judges have worn wigs since the mid-17th century and kept the policy after Ireland won independence from Britain in 1922.

 
SALT LAKE CITY – Police say a man who called in a bomb threat to a Utah Oktoberfest event said he was mad his boyfriend had gone without him and wanted him to return home sooner.

Prosecutors on Thursday charged 37-year-old Daniel Ford Artley with a felony count of making a false alarm.

Court papers say the West Valley City man called Snowbird ski resort's reservations line Oct. 8 and said his "Pakistani colleague" had planted a bomb at an events pavilion because he didn't like Americans. He said the bomb would detonate within 15 minutes.

Hundreds were evacuated from the resort southeast of Salt Lake City.Officials used caller ID to track down Artley.

If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in prison. A court hearing is set for Tuesday.

80% Trivia:
Episodes 47, 59, 74, and now 130. (It’s been a little over a year since we played.)

1. TV Fat guys:
1. Perhaps the most famously lazy animated character of all time, popularized the word “Doh” – Homer Simpson (The Simpsons)

4. An unlikable mailman, the show this fat man appeared on had a title character who always muttered his name in disgust whenever he appeared on screen. – Newman (Seinfeld)

6. His show is so old, it’s practically prehistoric in the timeline of television. He was perhaps best known for threatening his wife with physical violence with the phrase, “One of these days Alice, POW Right in the kisser!” Ralph Kramden – (The Honeymooners)
