With soaring gas prices, state officials have been on the hunt for suspected gas gougers, and they found some. Attorney General Paul Summers filed a second price-gouging lawsuit on Tuesday, this one against a McMinnville business owner.

Investigators say that Jess Whitlock from Whitlock's Market charged $7 a gallon last Friday. Whitlock now faces a $1,000 fine if convicted.
