1. A former Miss Maine Teen USA winner is making national headlines after reportedly assaulting her mother-in-law, husband and resisting arrest.

Police in Florida say Krista Glover got enraged on May 12, over what she thought was her husband, Lucas Glover’s, poor performance at The Players Championship. Lucas told police that the 36-year-old had been drinking and then attacked him and later his mother. (NewsCenter Maine)
