What the Hell Theater - 4/1

Authorities in Southern California say a woman showed up in court seeking a delay in her sentencing with a forged doctor note. Michelle Elaine Astumian had pleaded no contest to forging drug prescriptions. Prosecutors say her doctor's note asking for a postponement was also forged. Officials said she will be sentenced at a later date.



A Pennsylvania trucker may have saved his own life with an unintentional and elaborate Heimlich maneuver. Police say 55-year-old Richard Paylor was eating an apple as he drove on a busy highway in Reading when he began choking Tuesday morning. Paylor lost consciousness and crashed through a concrete median. Investigators believe the apple was dislodged when Paylor smacked his chest against the steering wheel. Police recovered a chunk of apple from the dashboard. Doctors backed up the conclusion that the accident dislodged the offending fruit.
