A Roanoke family says it found an unwelcome surprise inside a box of chicken .. one bought yesterday from a local fast food restaurant.
They uncovered, what they believe, was a cooked mouse.

But the health department says it has checked the restaurant and have found no signs of rodents inside or outside the establishment.

The possession of cocaine is a felony."
Priscilla Smith, Plaintiff Attorney: If you want healthy babies, don't throw mothers in jail."
ONE OF THE PLAINTIFFS ADMITTED SHE AVOIDED PRENATAL CARE, OUT OF FEAR OF GOING TO JAIL.
SHE WAS ARRESTED ANYWAY AFTER GIVING BIRTH, BECAUSE SHE TESTED POSITIVE FOR COCAINE. Paula Hale, Plaintiff: "I needed help, not jail. It just put me around other addicts who were itching to go back on the street to do the same thing."
