Man Sentenced in Collar-Bomb Bank Robbery
When I first started Slice, way back in 2003, a bizarre crime case surfaced in the news about a pizza delivery driver, Brian Wells, who wore a collar bomb into an Erie, Pennsylvania, bank in order to rob it. Much mystery surrounded the case—was Wells a co-conspirator or was he simply some guy off the street, forced to wear the bomb and carry out the sick instructions of some wackos. Well, it's been determined that Wells probably did conspire with the robbers, one of whom, Kenneth Barnes, was just sentenced to 45 years in prison. In sentencing Barnes, U.S. District...These Frozen Pizzas Are Hot: Man Tries to Steal $45K Worth of Stouffer's French Bread Pizza

Some sad news today. Romero Morales, a bartender at DeMarco's Pizzeria (a kinda-sorta offshoot of legendary Di Fara) was shot and killed last night for unknown reasons by a gunman. The shooter ran from DeMarco's and was chased by two auxiliary policemen—Nicholas Pekearo and Yevgeniy Marshalik—, who were then shot and killed by the gunman.

As you might know, I've been on jury duty. That ended yesterday around 4:30 p.m. when we came to a verdict (guilty on four of the six counts). While we argued in the jury room, I recalled a quote attributed to Otto von Bismarck: "Those who love sausage and obey the law should not watch either being made." Which in turn led me to think, "Mmmm ... sausage," and then to "Mmmm ... sausage on pizza." But the quote (and the week's legal proceedings) spurred me to deeper reflection on both the law and sausage—specifically: "How hard would it be...Deliver Us the Evildoers

Pizza can bring great joy, as evidenced by the poems in our Pizza Haiku Contest. But there is also a dark side to pizza—muggings and murders of delivery drivers, pizzerias as fronts for drug operations, etc. And now, in New York City, it seems like cops are looking at a pizza deliveryman as a suspect in the "Spider Man Rapist" case. The heinous perp in these assaults has been climbing down fire escapes into open windows, assualting women, and then using some sort of wire system to lower himself down to the ground. The deliveryman cops are investigating, Eugenio Aguilar,...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network. To advertise on this site or across a network of food-related weblogs, click here.
