No, you are quite familiar western. It is a sordid tale.
A Desert Vista High School volunteer baseball coach was "ambushed" and severely beaten in an assault Friday night at the school, said police, who allege his ex-wife and her boyfriend plotted the attack.
Lt. Heston Silbert said the incident, which he termed an “ambush,” occurred around 7 p.m. Friday in the school’s parking lot when the coach discovered one of his tires was flat. As he was on the ground working to replace the flat Silbert said a man drove up in a borrowed car and then allegedly attacked the coach.
“He’s going to be OK, but he was beaten pretty badly,” Silbert said.
Edward Myer of Park City, Utah, was arrested by Phoenix police officers less than two hours after the alleged attack, as he attempted to return to Utah where he flies for U.S Airways and lives with his family, police said. Valerie Hayes, the victim’s former wife, was arrested Saturday, according to police.
Myer was charged with the assault on the coach, and Hayes is charged with conspiracy and facilitation of the attack, police said.
Silbert said the preliminary investigation shows that Hayes borrowed a friend’s vehicle so that Myer could drive up without arousing the victim’s suspicions.
“She helped him set it up,” Silbert said.
Ok, ok. My turn!
Pilot charged with invasion of privacy for upskirt pics of girl, 15

US Airways pilot Joseph Pereira surrendered yesterday.
Looks like Joseph Pereira won't be cleared for takeoff any time soon.
The middle-aged US Airways pilot surrendered to police yesterday, less than a week after he was caught allegedly using a cell phone to snap pictures underneath a 15-year-old girl's skirt at Philadelphia International Airport.
Pereira, of Wexford, Pa., was charged with invasion of privacy and harassment for taking the perverted pics, which investigators viewed on his phone, said police spokesman Sgt. Ray Evers.
A US Airways spokesman said that the company suspended Pereira, 55, after allegations of the cell-phone snafu were first reported last Thursday.
On Sunday, Pereira resigned from his side job as the co-head coach of the junior-varsity and varsity girls softball team at North Allegheny Senior High School, in Wexford, 20 minutes north of Pittsburgh.
He didn't offer a reason for his sudden resignation, said Joy Ed, spokeswoman for the North Allegheny school district.
Many of the district's employees found out about Pereira's alleged voyeuristic photography Monday.
"It's been very shocking," Ed said. "He's been well-respected here."
The spokeswoman said that Pereira had coached girls softball at the high school for the last 13 years. No allegations of misconduct had ever been leveled at him, she noted.
Police said that there was little doubt what Pereira was up to about 7:15 p.m. last Thursday, when he spied a skirt-wearing teen inside CNBC News, a retail shop located in Terminal C at the airport.
A store employee, who witnessed the incident but declined to be identified, said that Pereira squatted down and pretended to read a newspaper while the teen had her back to him.
"He extended his arm and was snapping shots underneath her skirt with his cell phone," the employee told the Daily News.
Police were alerted to the incident by another witness and stopped Pereira, who was dressed in his pilot's uniform.
Evers said that investigators confirmed the witnesses' accounts of Pereira's impromptu photo shoot after viewing the pictures on his cell phone.
It was unclear if Pereira had a defense attorney.
