Former Chick-fil-A employee accused of robbing KFC

ROCK HILL, S.C.

A man who worked at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in northern South Carolina has been accused of robbing a KFC.

Jeffrey Coley, 50, is accused of taking $516 from the KFC in Rock Hill, S.C., on Monday.

Police say Coley pulled a gun at the drive-thru at KFC and demanded cash. Coley was arrested Tuesday after a chase. Police say the cash drawer was still in the vehicle.

He’s charged with armed robbery, possession of a gun during a violent crime, failure to stop for police and possession of methamphetamine. It wasn’t clear whether he has an attorney.

Chick-fil-A spokesman Mark Baldwin told The Rock Hill Herald that Coley was fired June 18 from a restaurant in Indian Land when he failed to show up to work two consecutive days.

2 men throw out $1M ticket, sue New Jersey Lottery

MAHWAH, N.J.

Two New York men are suing the New Jersey Lottery after they threw out a Powerball ticket worth $1 million.

Salvatore Cambria and Erick Onyango, of Suffern, N.Y., argue in their federal lawsuit that the lottery didn’t quickly update its website with the winning numbers from the March 23 drawing.

Cambria told The Record newspaper he asked Onyango to check the website soon after the 11 p.m. drawing. Cambria tossed the ticket when the numbers didn’t match. The men now think the site was showing the previous drawing’s numbers.

They say they realized they had won the next day. But by then, their ticket was on its way to a landfill in Canada.

The men say they have two other tickets showing serial numbers that prove they had a winner.

Bronx mystery creature is member of weasel family

NEW YORK

A mysterious long-haired critter that’s been sighted on the streets of a Bronx neighborhood for several months has a name.

It’s a member of the weasel family called a fisher or fisher cat.

Zoologist Roland Kays of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences told WCBS-TV that the short-legged, furry-tailed creature may have come down the river.

New Yorkers should be thrilled. Turns out the fisher preys on rats and squirrels, but is not a threat to humans.

Fishers were found in Manhattan when the island was first settled. The fur trade pushed them north and into the Adirondacks.

Fisher trapping was banned in the 1930s. Kays said today the fisher population is booming in the Northeast, and a trapping season has been reinstated.
