A Roanoke woman who killed her fiancee in May has pled guilty to voluntary

Joyce Ann Mohadess lived with Thomas Earl Spivey, Junior in a rooming house

Police originally reported she stabbed him because he owed her money.
In court today, the prosecutor indicated both Spivey and Mohadess were
drinking and that Spivey had been physically abusing her.
Mohadess pled guilty, rather than take her chances with a jury trial.
She'll spend at least eight and half years in prison.

A Jehova's Witness from Baltimore is suing the Holiday Inn at the Roanoke
Civic Center.
When Darlynn Weaver checked in there for the annual religious Conference
last summer, she was told she was due a 73-dollar refund.
She'd paid 214 dollars for four nights in advance, but they gave her
73-dollars back.
When she checked out, they said she OWED 73-dollars.
She said she didn't have it and left. The manager called police and had her
arrested at the airport. She spent nine hours at the city jail, but was never
prosecuted.
The suit demands 220-thousand dollars in damages.
