CRIME
Security camera footage leads police to driver who crashed into Taco Bell
- Brenna Long
Police have found the vehicle and driver of the car that crashed into the Taco Bell on 23rd Street early Wednesday morning.
Jason Gillam, a 20-year-old Lawrence resident, was cited for reckless driving, failure to report an accident and leaving the scene of an accident.
Gillam allegedly crashed a burgundy Jeep into the north side of the restaurant at approximately 2 a.m. There were no injuries from staff members or customers at the restaurant.
After the crash, the driver backed out the vehicle and drove westbound, leaving a trail of debris behind him. Using footage from security cameras, police were able to track down the car matching the model and resulting damage from the crash to the 2000 block of Clifton Court, just north of the restaurant.

ODD NEWS
Man with body odor punches employee
BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Police said a Cost Cutter store employee was punched in the mouth after he confronted a customer about his body odor. Police spokesman Mark Young told The Bellingham Herald that police went to the store after a report of a fight and found employees holding down a man.
The newspaper said customers apparently complained while the man was in the store Sunday, and the employee decided to discuss it with him when he returned the next day.
Young said the store employee
was not going to ask him to leave the store, but only approached him to share the complaints. Young said the man snapped and threw a bunch of batteries and punched the worker, causing a minor injury.
Woman lies to avoid paying hotel bills
NOVATO, Calif. — A woman accused of accruing thousands of dollars in bills at a Marin County hotel while pretending to be an IRS agent has been sentenced to five years probation and ordered to pay $55,000 to the hotel owners. Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker in San Francisco
sentenced Sherry Lynn Vertoch on Tuesday.
Vertoch pleaded guilty in February to impersonating a federal officer.
Authorities said the woman, who is in her 60s, stopped paying her bills at the Inn Marin in Novato in 2008, telling one of the hotel's owners she was a contract worker with the IRS and wouldn't be paid until she finished an investigation for the agency.
She allegedly urged the owners to write a letter to the IRS when they periodically sought payment
Prosecutors had recommended probation for Vertoch over prison time.
