NEWARK, N.J. — Prose- cutors called a New Jersey man “dangerous to society” after pieces of a human body were found in his closet, in- cluding a head, part of an arm, and a torso dressed in a necktie and suit jacket.
Robert Williams, of Newark, pleaded not guilty Monday to desecrating human remains and separate charges ofchild sexual abuse. Police initially went to Williams’ home to investi- gate allegations he abused a 12- to 13-year-old boy over several months, but when they searched the apartment they found an altar and

At the conclusion of the brief proceeding, state Supe- rior Court Judge Ronald Wigler ordered Williams held pending trial.

Quavo is capitalizing off the Popeyes chicken sand- wich mania by selling them for $1,000 a pop.
The fried chicken eatery recently launched its new chicken sandwich on a brioche bun, and the internet went insane, debating if it was better than Chick-fil-A’s signature item.

While a sandwich retails for just $3.99, Quavo was (jokingly) selling each for $1,000. “I heard y’all boys was looking for them, they sold out every- where,” he said while open- ing his trunk. “I got them things going for $1,000 a chicken.” He then opened a Popeyes bag full of the chicken sandwiches that everyone’s been lusting over.
