• Man gets 90 days in jail in vacuum sex act case

SAGINAW, Mich. (AP) - A man police caught performing a sex act with a car wash vacuum has been sentenced to 90 days in the Saginaw County Jail.

Jason Leroy Savage must also submit to drug testing.

The 29-year-old Swan Creek Township man was sentenced Wednesday in Saginaw County Circuit Court. Savage pleaded no contest to indecent exposure last month.

Police say Savage was arrested after a resident called officers early on Oct. 16 to report suspicious activity at a car wash in Thomas Township, about 90 miles northwest of Detroit.

Savage's attorney, Philip Sturtz, didn't immediately return a message seeking comment.

• Needy Seattle area dogs receiving kibble windfall

SEATTLE (AP) - A mountain of dog food has proven a bit of a headache for the Port of Seattle.

Port officials bought 12.7 tons of kibble in June to test new baggage conveyor systems at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. In October, the 1,600 bags were stored in a warehouse, with snowstorms keeping it there longer than anticipated.

On Tuesday, port officials voted to donate the dog food to two animal shelters, but it was too much for the outlets in Seattle and King County to store. So the shelters are passing on most of it to food banks for the dogs of people in need.

• College phone booth stunt just like old times

MORAGA, Calif. (AP) - Twenty-two students at St. Mary's College of California have done something their predecessors famously did 50 years ago: cram into a phone booth.

Teams competed to fit as many bodies as possible into a phone booth on the campus green Wednesday, a half-century after Life magazine published a now-famous photograph of 22 St. Mary's students stuffed into a phone booth, a popular college stunt in the 1950s.

Current students matched the number in the 1959 image, though they failed to break the campus record of 24 set in 1984.

St. Mary's officials say a South African team set the world record of 25 set in 1958.
