A California woman who wanted to get rid of unwanted guests tried to get them gone by turning on the gas.
But it was she who was overcome.
The 51-year-old Victorville woman had met the pair through a family friend. They were to spend the night and then skeedaddle.
They stayed six weeks and were perfectly comfortable (see "Raising Arizona" for the movie version).
The woman reportedly told police she was afraid of the men, who were apparently criminal types (again, see "Raising Arizona"). They were taken into custody on suspicion of dealing drugs.
The gas did not bother those guys, but ain't that always the way?
