HILLSDALE, Mich. - Michigan's college-student mayor is ready to move on. Michael Sessions was 18 when he won a 2005 write-in campaign in Hillsdale, a city of 8,200 located 85 miles southwest of Detroit. The 21-year-old announced Tuesday he won't seek re-election because he will receive his degree from Hillsdale College in 2010 and his career plans may prevent him from completing a second four-year term. Sessions registered to vote one day after his 18th birthday in September 2005 and signed up as a write-in candidate the day after that. He financed his campaign with $700 earned by working at a french fry wagon at local fairs and carnivals. After defeating the incumbent by two votes, Sessions appeared on national news programs and on the "Late Show with David Letterman."
BELLMORE, N.Y. - A stolen $3,000 Chihuahua puppy has been returned to a Long Island pet store with an apologetic note. Nassau County police said they haven't identified the man who took the 14-week-old dog back Tuesday to Worldwide Puppies & Kittens in Bellmore, just east of New York City. Store manager Christina Ingoglia said the man ran away after dropping off the pup in a shoe box. She said he left a note saying the puppy's abductors were sorry they stole it and didn't have the money to buy it.
CONOVER, N.C. - A gross video posted on YouTube showing a Domino's Pizza worker stuffing cheese up his nostril and waving salami under his rear end as he is making sandwiches has led to charges against him and a co-worker who recorded him, authorities said Wednesday. Kristy Lynn Hammonds, 31, of Taylorsville and Michael Anthony Setzer, 32, of Conover are each charged with distributing prohibited foods. In the video, Setzer is making sandwiches while a giggling Hammonds narrates and urges him to "do it again, do it again" in putting the cheese up his nose. It appears he threw some of the cheese in the garbage but some went on a sandwich. Setzer said: "This is Michael's special Italian sandwich." Hammonds said the sandwiches were meant to be delivered soon to customers and that "little did they know that the cheese was in his nose." Domino's spokesman Tim McIntyre said the workers were fired and there is no evidence any of the tampered foods were served to customers.
