Md. man arrested in wife’s killing
A Maryland man was arrested for allegedly killing his wife in a domestic dispute.
Anne Arundel County police said officers responded to a report of a domestic assault on the 7700 block of Jones Drive in Pasadena at about 5 a.m. Wednesday and found a 38-year-old woman suffering from stab wounds.
Jill Salb was pronounced dead at a hospital about an hour later. Her husband, 56-year-old Stephen Salb, was at the home and was arrested in the slaying, police said. The motive in the attack wasn’t immediately clear.
Stephen Salb has been charged with first- and second-degree murder and first- and second-degree assault.
The woman’s 20-year-old daughter tried to intervene in the assault and was also injured, police said. She was treated for wounds that were not life-threatening, police said.
Man gets 18 months for thefts from FTC
A former Federal Trade Commission clerk was sentenced to 18 months in prison for stealing more than $200,000 in office equipment from the agency.
Harold Hughes, 58, of Arlington, pleaded guilty in April to making $217,000 in unauthorized purchases of laptops, DVD players, televisions and other electronics. He kept some of the items and sold others for cash, federal prosecutors said.
Hughes worked for the FTC from February 2009 to December 2010.
