CHULA VISTA (AP) -- Police in Chula Vista say they arrested a robbery suspect when he showed up to take a test to become a police officer.

Forty-year-old Romeo Montillano was arrested on Wednesday and booked into San Diego County jail.

A police spokesman says Montillano was sought in connection with a December robbery at a Chula Vista Kmart where a man took a TV and other items, then beat up store employees who confronted him.

A short time later, investigators learned Montillano had signed up to take the February police officer's examination. Police managed to call Montillano, who was in Las Vegas but promised to show for the test. He missed an orientation for applicants but did show up test day and signed in. Montillano was arrested for investigation of robbery and other crimes.

Police say as Montillano was being arrested, he asked whether he could still take the police exam or reapply at some later date. He was told 'no.'

LONDON (Reuters) – Irish carrier Ryanair, Europe's largest budget airline, might start charging passengers for using the toilet while flying, chief executive Michael O'Leary said on Friday.

"One thing we have looked at in the past and are looking at again is the possibility of maybe putting a coin slot on the toilet door so that people might actually have to spend a pound to spend a penny in future," he told BBC television.

He said this would not inconvenience passengers travelling without cash. "I don't think there is anybody in history that has got on board a Ryanair aircraft with less than a pound."

George Harrison, lead guitarist for "The Beatles", would have been 66 years old today. George died of lung cancer in Hollywood, California.

Took some photos from my son Scott's Facebook page.

There was a young parson of Goering,

Who made a small hole in the flooring;

He lined it all round,

Then laid on the ground,

And declared it was cheaper than whoring.
