David Scheiding is suing a local Arby's restaurant for $50,000 after claiming he found a slice of skin in his chicken sandwich. On June 18, Scheiding says he realized something was wrong when he bit into his chicken sandwich and found a piece of skin about three-fourths of an inch long. "It looked like I was seeing fingerprints on it," he said. "I got sick and went to the bathroom. " Health investigators spoke to the restaurant manager, who had a bandage on his right thumb and wore a latex glove. The manager says he sliced his thumb while shredding lettuce and immediately sanitized the area, but did not throw away the lettuce. Scheiding filed the lawsuit after rejecting a settlement offer from GZK Inc. , which owns the Arby's in Tipp City, Ohio.

A college student makes $232. 50 selling a chicken breast resembling the last Pope John Paul II on eBay. E. J. Rouzin-Moy, a 19-year-old Eastern Illinois University freshman, sold the chicken breast on Thursday to goldenpalace. com. He discovered the holy look-a-like chicken moneymaker on April 6th, when he almost ate it at his dorm's dining hall. This isn't the first purchase for goldenpalace. com, who paid $28,000 for a Virgin Mary grilled-cheese sandwich last year. Rouzin-Moy was more than surprised when the bidding on eBay exceeded $200. The "holy" poultry was cooked, and although the college student thought enough to save it and sell it in the Pope's likeness, he's skeptical of where the "message" came from.

Authorities have arrested a convicted killer and located the wife of an assistant prison warden ten years after they vanished. 60-year old Randolph Dial was arrested at a mobile home in the east Texas town of Campti following a tip from the TV show "America's Most Wanted". He had been convicted of murdering a karate instructor in 1981. Investigators thought Bobbi Parker may have been taken against her will when she went missing August 30, 1994, but after being discovered working on a chicken ranch not far from where Dial was found, authorities say she doesn't seem interested in going back to her former life. The now 42-year old Parker and Dial have apparently been managing five large chicken houses near the Louisiana border, though officials cannot confirm the extent of their relationship over the past decade. Prior to his escape, Dial was confined to minimum security Oklahoma State Reformatory in Granite where he used his skill as a renowned painter and sculptor with a master's degree in art to run the facility's pottery program. He also enjoyed extended privileges outside of the prison, including using a kiln at the Parker's home garage. Bobbi Parker's husband, Randy, says he saw Dial working in the garage the day his wife disappeared. A note was discovered when Parker came home for lunch saying Bobbi had gone to the grocery store. Later, Dial was reported missing as well as Bobbi Parker. Bobbi Parker did call her mother in tears telling her she couldn't talk, but would be home soon. A second call was made to her mother a day later telling her to call home and tell her kids she loved them and would be back soon. It was the last time there would be any reported contact. Randy Parker, who was a deputy warden at the facility, is now the warden at the William S. Key Correctional Center at Fort Supply, Oklahoma. Upon being located by FBI agents, Bobbi did ask about her husband and two daughters, though she gave no indication she plans to return. Shelby County Sheriff Newton Johnson says, "As far as I know, she has no intention of leaving. She said she wants to stay on the farm and raise chickens. "
