This is bizzzzzarre... In Longmont (a small town near Boulder, Colorado) police arrested a transsexual who claimed to be Maria Lexie Girtih VonHexum Onassis Tish, niece of the late Greek tycoon Aristotle Onassis. He ran up a $1,500 tab in three days at a Longmont hotel and an $800 bill at a hair salon. James John Gonzalies, 29, who claims he is a woman after completing a recent sex change operation told Littletree Plaza Hotel managers he was Maria Onassis, police said Tuesday. They said his scam also involved a marriage proposal hoax, hiring three bodyguards, buying expensive jewelry and ordering a Ferrari. He was arrested Monday in his room while receiving a beauty treatment, authorities said. He was held Tuesday in the women's section of the county jail. Officers confirmed he was in the process of undergoing a sex change. County Judge Roxanne Bailin set a $2,500 bond for Gonzales and ordered a mental evaluation for him. Hmmm, I wonder if the marriage is still on? Bob Devine

A 'real' female, also being held in the county jail on charges unrelated to this case, is suing the county, claiming that her civil rights were violated in that the (incomplete) transsexual was put in the women's section. Does the Constitution or state law guarantee gender-segregated facilities for law-breakers? What if a person's current gender is questionable? B. L. Lewis, AT&T, Denver
