Cannibal cop becomes cook in prison
A former NYPD officer, who was arrested in 2012 for conspiring to kidnap, murder, cook and eat women, has gotten a job working as a chef at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan in order to “kill time.”
Gilberto Valle, better-known as the cannibal cop, was convicted in federal court over a year ago, but has yet to been sentenced while a judge is deciding whether to grant him a new trial.
The 30-year-old man makes 44 cents an hour for preparing breakfast and lunch each day for other inmates. According to his mother, Elizabeth Valle, the pizza he makes is so good that even the guards eat it. “He has mastered making pizza.”

Boy of five banned for wearing dresses and heals
A five-year-old boy has been banned from an after-school club — because he keeps turning up in princess dresses and high heels. Romeo Clarke has a collection of 100 dresses and eight pairs of children’s high heels which he likes to wear every day after school.
But the youngster was accused by organisers of the church-run club of “confusing” the other children by his choice of clothes. His shocked mum Georgina, 36, has lodged a complaint with the playgroup, claiming it is discriminating against her son.
She fumed: “I was so cross whaen I was told about it that I was really speechless. Wearing the dress is his choice and if wearing it makes him happy it’s fine with me. This is not a case of my son being trapped in a girl’s body — he’s a normal tom-boy who, because he has three big sisters, likes wearing dresses. What is wrong with thatIJ” Romeo started at St Marie's Catholic Primary School in Rugby, Warks, in September.

Bank robbery note was on grocery receipt
An Oregon police affidavit says a robber at the Home Federal Bank two weeks ago demanded money by giving the teller a note written on the back of a grocery receipt.It was only part of the receipt, Bend Detective Jeff Frickey said in the affidavit, but it had the last four digits of a food stamp account and the account balance — enough to get investigators going.
State records provided a name to go with the account number, the Bend Bulletin reported , and an online search of the name turned up a pawn shop transaction with a telephone number. A service provider then came up with the coordinates of the phone, the Stillwater Campground in Central Oregon. The 54-year-old Robert Short was arrested on charges of theft and robbery
