Neb. police arrest 2 from Missouri on grease theft

LINCOLN, Neb.

Police in Nebraska say they’ve nabbed a pair of suspected grease thieves, thanks in part to the smell of old french fries.

Christy Harris, of Everton, Mo., and Jesse Moore, of Springfield, Mo., are charged with larceny. They’re suspected of siphoning used cooking oil from a bin outside a Lincoln restaurant. Police think they may be involved in several other grease thefts.

Some businesses buy used grease for biodiesel fuel.

Harris and Moore were arrested early Wednesday after police stopped a pickup truck hauling a big tank. Officers say the tank smelled like “old, stale french fries.” Police say the truck also had no rear license tag.

Harris and Moore were taken to the Lancaster County jail and later released.

Woman dons dress she wore at her 1938 Youngstown wedding

MUSKEGON, Mich.

A West Michigan woman has strolled down the aisle in her wedding dress for a second time. The first time came 73 years ago.

Agnes Anderson wore the dress in 1938 when she married her college sweetheart, Delmar Anderson, in Youngstown.

The Andersons’ marriage lasted more than 50 years until Delmar’s death in 1989.

Her second trip down the aisle came last week at a vintage-bridal-gown fashion show at a church in Muskegon.

The 98-year-old from Muskegon County’s Laketon Township says the dress was in mint condition when she retrieved it from a storage box.

Dick Anderson escorted his mother into the church sanctuary and to the altar.
