Peeping Tom Pulled From Outhouse Tank
June 28, 2005 5:38 PM EDT
ALBANY, N.H. - A 45-year-old man was arrested after a teenage girl found him staring at her from below an outhouse seat, police said. Police said they pulled Gary Moody, from Gardiner, Maine, from the waste tank under a log cabin outhouse on Monday.

"We had to decontaminate him," said Capt. Jon Hebert of the Carroll County Sheriff's Department, adding that firefighters hosed the man down before police handcuffed him. "We treated him as if he were hazardous material," Hebert said.

Moody was charged with criminal trespass. Hebert said he could face more charges.

Moody was freed on bail for a July 19 appearance in Northern Carroll County District Court in North Conway.

Astrologer Sues NASA Over Comet Probe
July 05, 2005 12:35 PM EDT
MOSCOW - NASA's mission that sent a space probe smashing into a comet raised more than cosmic dust - it also brought a lawsuit from a Russian astrologer.

Marina Bai has sued the U.S. space agency, claiming the Deep Impact probe that punched a crater into the comet Tempel 1 late Sunday "ruins the natural balance of forces in the universe," the newspaper Izvestia reported Tuesday. A Moscow court has postponed hearings on the case until late July, the paper said.

Scientists say the crash did not significantly alter the comet's orbit around the sun and said the experiment does not pose any danger to Earth.

The probe's comet crash sent up a cloud of debris that scientists hope to examine to learn how the solar system was formed.

Bai is seeking damages totaling $300 million - the approximate equivalent of the mission's cost - for her "moral sufferings," Izvestia said, citing her lawyer Alexander Molokhov. She earlier told the paper that the experiment would "deform her horoscope."

NASA representatives in Russia could not be reached for comment on the case.

Man in Toilet Episode Faces More Charges 1 hour, 36 minutes ago


AUGUSTA, Maine - A man's arrest two weeks ago after being pulled from an outhouse toilet in New Hampshire has landed him in hot water in Maine. Gary Moody, 45, appeared Thursday in court on a charge of violating his probation by leaving the state and allegedly committing new crimes.

Moody, a convenience store owner, denied the allegations and remained free after posting bail.

Moody has been free on $250 bail from Carroll County, N.H., where he faces two counts of disorderly conduct and one count of criminal trespass after being found June 26 in the waste tank of a pit toilet on U.S. Forest Service property in Albany, N.H.

Authorities arrived at the scene after a 14-year-old girl heard a noise in the toilet and saw a face looking up at her. Moody was removed by police and was hosed down by firefighters before being arrested.

Assistant District Attorney Brad Grant noted that Moody was on probation for a sixth OUI and that probationers in Maine must have written permission from a probation officer before leaving the state.

"He left the state of Maine without permission, and the crimes he is alleged to have committed in New Hampshire are extremely disturbing," the prosecutor said.

Moody's attorney, Walter McKee, argued his client has strong community ties and would abide by conditions of probation.

Man Accused of Sabotaging Doc's Messages
July 19, 2005 3:32 PM EDT
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. - The founder of a company that runs answering services for doctors allegedly tried to destroy a competitor by hacking into the firm's computer so that patients got a busy signal or heard moaning when they tried to call their doctors.

Gerald Martin, 37, was charged with computer tampering and possession of a forged instrument. If convicted, he could serve up to seven years in prison.

Stuart Hayman, president of the Westchester County Medical Society, said the alleged crime "could have prevented thousands of patients from reaching their physicians in emergency situations."

One patient in California had to be rushed to an emergency room after failing to reach a doctor because of the alleged interference, District Attorney Jeanine Pirro said Tuesday.

Martin allegedly hacked into the computer for three days in November. Patients either heard a busy signal or "groaning, moaning in a sexual nature," Pirro said. Martin could not be reached for comment.

Serial Meal Thief Seeks to Make Amends
July 21, 2005 9:38 PM EDT
MACHIAS, Maine - A California man who spent 90 days in jail after habitually complaining of fake chest pains to duck the tab for restaurant meals is back in Maine, expressing remorse and seeking to make amends.

Elias I. Elias, 54, dead broke and looking to make a new start, said he wants to pay restitution for the dinner he ate at the Townhouse Restaurant in Calais last August that led to his last arrest.

"This is all I have," he told the Bangor Daily News, motioning to himself. "My clothes. I had a career in California, I had a house. I had my wife. Now I just want a job in Bangor, so I can pay the last $39."

By the time Elias came to court in February, the prosecution had determined that the Calais incident was the 18th time since 2003 that he had avoided paying for meals by faking heart attacks or other medical emergencies.

He was sentenced in Machias to 90 days, or time served. Within a week of his release in February, he took a Greyhound bus back to California.

Elias said pangs of guilt led him to return to Bangor two weeks ago. He said his life has not been the same since his wife died of cancer two years ago and he vowed never to repeat the restaurant scam.

"It is not worth the humiliation," he said Wednesday after appearing in District Court to express his apologies to a judge. "I promise the Lord I will not take from a restaurant owner again.

"You have to understand the grief I have gone through. I am starting new again."

Elias' court-appointed attorney, Jeffrey Davidson, had argued in February that his client was only seeking a bit of dignity, the chance to eat at a restaurant and feel like everyone else despite having lost everything.

On Wednesday, Davidson and Elias crossed paths in the courtroom again, to Davidson's surprise. They shook hands. Davidson's advice: "Just pay the $39."

Elias fully intends to this time, the minute he has the money.
