BOSTON (AP) - He's been
criticized, ordered, sued and
now arrested — but Glenn Mar-
tin Heller keeps on pumping
some of the nation’s most ex-
pensive gasoline.
The bearded and bespec-
tacled gas dealer, whose 24-
hour pumps doled out their
commodity for as much as
$1.56.9 a gallon, appeared in
federal court Tuesday to face
price-gouging charges.
Heller pleaded innocent be-
fore a U.S. magistrate to “un-
lawfully, knowingly and will-
fully” selling gasoline for more
than the federal price limit —
making 55 cents profit on every
gallon, prosecutors said.
The 30-year-old Heller was
released on $10,000 bail for a
probable cause hearing June 29.
If convicted he faces up to a
year in prison and a $10,000 fine.
But today his tiny Gulf station
at the foot of historic Beacon
Hill was still pumping unleaded
gasoline for $1.56.9 a gallon, a
price posted an hour before his and faces $10,000 a day in fines
