The title starts off like a bad joke, but the terrible thing is the reality of this situation, both for Angela Eversole....and everyone else that has to endure the cost of gas. Some people have already gone to the extraordinary lengths of stealing gas, either at the pump or siphoning from other people's cars. Now we have acquisitions of gas on a whole new level.
From The Cincinnati Enquirer:
FORT WRIGHT – Police set up a sex sting at the Days Inn on Dixie Highway last weekend, expecting to arrest women who came there to trade sex for money.They also found something else: a woman accused of trading sex for gasoline.
While doing surveillance at the hotel, officers spotted a woman they knew because of her criminal history.
They discovered she was there for sex – and that she was allegedly paid with a $100 gas card.
“When people are selling their bodies for gas, that’s pretty sad,” said Ken Easterling, chief prosecutor in the Kenton County Attorney’s Office.
Angela R. Eversole, 34, of Fort Wright, is accused of prostitution and doing business without an occupational license.
"Pretty sad" doesn't even begin to describe this situation. People are suffering all over from the explosive rise in gas prices and some will do almost anything to keep their cars running. Angela Eversole certainly did.
