Man proposes on 'Good Morning America'

COLLEYVILLE, Texas, Oct. 13 (UPI) -- A Texas man staged an elaborate proposal for his girlfriend on national TV with the help of ABC's "Good Morning America."

Logan Batlle, 25, enlisted the help of anchors George Stephanopoulos and Robin Roberts for his proposal to girlfriend Leeta Britton, 25, for the morning show's new "Live Love" segment, the Fort Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram reported Wednesday.

Britton, a teacher at Heritage Middle School in Colleyville, arrived early for work, believing she was to be interviewed by "GMA" about the school's girls' soccer team, which she coaches. However, during the interview, Roberts told Britton to look behind her, where her players were holding up placards spelling out "Will You Marry Me?"

Batlle then emerged with a ring box and knelt down next to Britton.

"I want to tell you that I love you more than anything in the world," Batlle said. "You're the most beautiful girl. And I know you wanted coffee this morning, but I think I got you something better."

Britton accepted the proposal.

"You are so crazy," she told Batlle.

Pittsburgh Zoo seeks to alligator

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 13 (UPI) -- Pittsburgh Zoo workers said they are attempting to trap an alligator spotted in the Beaver Run Reservoir, but they have yet to encounter the reptile.

Henry Kacprzyk, curator of reptiles at the zoo, said he and other workers searched the area Tuesday for the alligator, which witnesses estimated to be about 5 feet long, but they were unable to find any sign of the animal, which is believed to be an abandoned pet, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Wednesday.

Kacprzyk said a wire trap will be placed near the shore of the reservoir in an attempt to snare the gator.

"I'm confident we'll be able to trap it," he said.

The Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County had originally planned to allow the alligator to succumb to dropping temperatures in the coming weeks, but reversed course after protests from members of the public.

Zoo officials said the alligator will be cared for until a permanent home can be found.

Drug seller wrong-number texts deputy

NEBO, N.C., Oct. 13 (UPI) -- Authorities in North Carolina said they arrested a woman whose wrong-number text about a drug deal was received by a sheriff's deputy.

The McDowell County Sheriff's Office said Deputy P.V. Alkire received a text message Thursday night from a number he did not recognize from a sender who identified herself as "Amy" and asked if he wanted "business tonight," The McDowell News, Marion, N.C., reported Wednesday.

The sender said she was selling "bones," a street term for the prescription anti-anxiety drug Xanax, and Alkire arranged to purchase 10 of the pills at Nebo Truck Stop.

The deputy arrived for the sale and found the car described by the seller. The passenger in the car, Amy Leigh Brown, 35, was arrested and charged with intent to sell and deliver a Schedule IV controlled substance.

Investigators said Brown was carrying 25 generic Xanax pills.

Police: Woman sought pot on Craigslist

ROSWELL, N.M., Oct. 13 (UPI) -- Police in New Mexico said they arrested a woman accused of posting a Craigslist ad saying she was looking to purchase marijuana.

Roswell Police said Anamicka Dave, 29, put a posting on the Web site explaining she was new to the area and looking to purchase marijuana, KOB-TV, Albuquerque, reported Wednesday.

"I was surprised, I was really surprised that someone would actually put on there they were looking for weed, an actually illegal product, to the fact that I called my boss to make sure it wasn't one of our guys trying to do a reverse sting," Sgt. Ty Sharpe said.

Police said they communicated with Dave via text messages while posing as a potential seller. Officers arranged to meet Dave in a parking lot and she was placed under arrest.

Dave was booked on a charge of criminal solicitation.
