ROCKLAND, Mass. (AP) — Massachusetts police have arrested a man they say broke into a home and cooked himself a snack.

Rockland police officers responded to a home at about 1:40 a.m. Wednesday after getting a call from the homeowner.

The homeowner woke up to a loud bang from the kitchen. When the resident went to investigate, he found an intruder cooking corn on the cob on the stove. He told the intruder to leave, and the two men briefly scuffled.

Police arrested 69-year-old John Dalton and charged him with breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony and assault and battery. Police say Dalton, who was “clearly intoxicated,” forced his way inside through a side door.

It was not clear if Dalton had a lawyer.

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — State police say they’ve arrested a 22-year-old New York man after he was found with marijuana, cocaine and LSD hidden inside a stuffed animal dressed in an anti-drug T-shirt.

Troopers say Gregory Bolongnese (bol-OH’-nays), of Plattsburgh, was arrested Monday at the bus station in his hometown near the Canadian border. They say they found two grams of pot, about a half-gram of cocaine and LSD inside a stuffed lion doll wearing a D.A.R.E. shirt.

D.A.R.E. stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education, a program that aims to educate young people about staying away from drugs, gangs and violence.

Bolognese was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of marijuana. It couldn’t be determined if he has a lawyer.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — Twenty years after the suspicious 1994 death of his new wife, a nuclear engineer is on trial in Southern California on charges of murder and insurance fraud.

Prosecutors have said they didn’t think they had enough evidence to try Paul Curry of Orange County until a 2007 re-investigation led to a new scientific report.

During opening statements Tuesday, prosecutors told jurors that Linda Curry was poisoned with a lethal injection of nicotine. Curry’s attorney argued that Linda Curry had a history of serious gastrointestinal problems.

The prosecution says Paul Curry, who was 37 then, collected more than a half-million dollars in life insurance and other benefits. In fact, he started asking for payments the day after her funeral.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Police near Cleveland say they have identified five teenage suspects involved in dumping bodily fluids on an autistic teen who thought he was participating in the “Ice Bucket Challenge.”

The teens are between the ages of 14 and 17. Bay Village police chief Mark Spaetzel (SPETZ’-uhl) says evidence will be presented to the Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH’-guh) County prosecutor’s office early next week to determine whether delinquency charges should be filed.

The incident drew worldwide attention after the autistic teen’s mother found a video of it on his cellphone and gave media outlets permission to make it available online. Spaetzel says the prank happened at one of the suspect’s homes.

The autistic teen thought he was participating in the challenge benefiting the ALS Association and the fight against Lou Gehrig’s disease.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City officials say the rising power of disparate militant groups around the world presents the most complex and layered terrorism danger since the twin towers were destroyed 13 years ago.

There is no immediate threat to New York ahead of the Sept. 11 anniversary this week. But police officials say New York remains the top target and that makes it much more critical to prepare for events, including the U.S. Open tennis tournament, the United Nations General Assembly and Thursday’s commemoration.

New York Police Commissioner William Bratton said the department is prepared.

That means thousands of officers in specialized teams, bomb-sniffing dogs, undercover officers and teams of police using radioactive detection devices and other high-tech tools. Intelligence officers around the globe also will be reporting in regularly.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A Virginia woman says she doesn’t understand the fuss over her 96-year-old mother’s recent marriage. After all, she says, anybody who wants to get married must have a little dementia.

But the courts aren’t amused by the marriage this year of 96-year-old Edith Hill and 95-year-old Eddie Harrison. And the couple’s status as newlyweds is now uncertain.

Hill was declared legally incapacitated by the courts several years ago after a doctor said she suffered from dementia. And a judge says the marriage should not have occurred without court permission. He removed Hill’s daughter, Rebecca Wright of Annandale, from her role as her mother’s guardian in large part because of the marriage.

Now a new guardian has been appointed who will decide whether the marriage will be allowed to stand.

NEW YORK (AP) — Microsoft is giving its MSN news service a crisper look, new lifestyle tools and seamless syncing across devices.

The company says the revamped site fits in with Microsoft’s overall strategy of making mobile phones and Internet-based services priorities. The changes also come as people increasingly read news on smartphones and tablets.

Rather than being simply an entry point for accessing the rest of the Internet, the revamped MSN is aiming to become a daily part of life for its 400 million monthly users worldwide. Besides news culled from other media outlets, MSN will have such tools as a symptom checker and a shopping list maker for recipes.

A preview of the new MSN site will be available Monday. The new site will roll out more widely later this month.

BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (AP) — A Vermont woman has been arrested after police say she had a child drive her car while she was drunk.

Forty-two-year-old Jessica Mathiau of Brattleboro was arrested Saturday evening and charged with child endangerment. State police say a trooper noticed a car parked in the middle of the road, and upon speaking with the occupants, discovered that a child had been driving while Mathiau rode in the passenger seat.

Police say Mathiau was highly intoxicated, and during her travels, had activated the car’s emergency brake numerous times in the middle of traffic.

A phone number for Mathiau could not be located Sunday. The child’s age was unavailable.

CLEVELAND (AP) — An HIV-positive priest has pleaded guilty to soliciting sex from a Cleveland-area park ranger.

The 69-year-old Rev. James McGonegal (muh-GAHN’-ee-gul) was arrested nearly a year ago after he solicited a park ranger near downtown Cleveland. He was charged with felony soliciting because he had previously tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

In a plea agreement entered Friday, McGonegal pleaded guilty to the felony count of solicitation and to misdemeanor counts of abusing harmful intoxicants and public indecency. Under the agreement, he will enter a yearlong early intervention program. If he completes the program, he will not be convicted.

McGonegal also is required to serve 50 hours of community service and stay out of all Cleveland Metroparks.

A message left for his attorney hasn’t been returned.
