A man with a guitar and a megaphone climbed atop a convenience store roof in Valparaiso, Ind. to serenade commuters with his musical protest of high gasoline prices — until police halted the impromptu concert.

Once atop the roof of the Family Express store and above pumps dispensing fuel at $3.78 a gallon, 29-year-old Jay Weinberg performed his ditty, "Price Gouge'n."

Dozens of supporters chanted along with the lyrics: "I can't afford it. I'm banging on my dashboard. I can't believe they think I'm a fool."

The performance lasted about 15 minutes before three police officers arrived and arrested Weinberg on charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct. Police said he was cooperative.

The crowd, made up of Weinberg's friends and other people who just happened to be pumping gas, continued singing. Then some, including his wife, Danielle, drove to Porter County Jail to bail him out. Weinberg was greeted with cheers as he left the building.

- A congressional candidate probably got a few cheers of his own by offering cut-rate gasoline to motorists in Boise, Idaho.

Police were called to help with traffic control after the Chevron station's price was cut by $1.33 a gallon to $2.26 for an hour Tuesday. Aides to Democrat Walt Minnick said his campaign paid more than $4,200 for the subsidized sales. Now there’s a way to buy a few votes.

Minnick is running for the Democratic nod in Idaho's 1st Congressional District. He said the purpose was to get the attention of the news media to show voters in Idaho are upset by high gasoline prices.

One motorist, Aaron Mabey, says he waited in line for more than an hour to pump than four gallons.

Republicans, including incumbent Rep. Bill Sali, dismissed it as a publicity stunt. Minnick criticized Sali for holding a fundraiser with oil executives Tuesday.

- Some quick-thinking women armed with cameras assisted police with an arrest in Bensalem, Pa. over the weekend.

Police say Andre Smith struck up a conversation with the women at a neighborhood bar early Sunday morning.

The women snapped pictures of themselves with Smith, but he later was ejected from the bar for allegedly harassing customers.
