Couple Charged with Kidnapping Amish Girls
A northern New York couple has been charged with kidnapping for allegedly abducting two Amish sisters from a roadside farm stand. Stephen Howells II, 39, and Nicole Vaisey, 25, of Hermon, were arrested following Wednesday’s disappearance of the 12- and 7-year-old girls from Oswegatchie, which triggered a state Amber alert. The girls showed up 24 hours later at a home 15 miles from their stand, asking for help.
Mr. T Called for Jury Duty in Chicago
The iconic A Team and Rocky actor Mr. T showed up for jury duty at a Cook County, Illinois, courthouse this week. The 62-year-old Chicago resident didn’t get seated on a jury but interacted with fans, including an assistant district attorney who told him he still had his Mr. T lunchbox. Toting a Bible, Mr. T joked that he wouldn’t eat lunch because if he did, he wouldn’t be able to be “mean on the criminal.”
