SLIDELL - The Slidell Police Department is asking the public for help identifying a brazen jewelry thief.

The unidentified man walked into RG Jewelers around 4 p.m. on November 7 and sprinted out a short time later with over $10,000 worth of jewelry.

The suspect, who was wearing shorts, a black hooded sweatshirt, and dark-rimmed glasses, spoke to a store clerk for several minutes before making his move.

In surveillance video from the store, the suspect can be seen reaching over a counter, sliding open a display case, and grabbing several pieces of jewelry.

The store clerk was able to knock one item from the brazen thief's hands, but he quickly doubled back and grabbed it before running from the store.

The suspect drove away in a newer model Chevrolet Colorado, according to the SPD.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Kyle Taylor at (985) 646-6174 or ktaylor@slidellpd.com. You can also submit a tip on www.slidellpd.com. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can contact Crime Stoppers at (504) 822-1111. You may be eligible for a cash reward.

Halloween Costume Idea: ‘The Great British Baking Show’ Judges - Eater

Posted: 15 Oct 2019 12:00 AM PDT

With Goth baker Helena Garcia out of the tent, only co-host Noel Fielding remains to bring the spooky season vibe to the Great British Baking Show. So why not give the show and the holiday an assist with a GGBS/GBBO Halloween costume of your own?

Take on the alter ego of Prue Leith with a primary color getup, statement specs, and a wacky matching necklace. Team up with a partner and transform into goofy duo Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding with fun patterned jumpers. Raid your closet for a blue button up shirt and become Paul Hollywood, the harshest judge at the Halloween party who gives out handshakes only to those with the best outfits. OR if you're still reeling from the judge/host shakeup several years ago, make a statement as Zombie Sue, Zombie Mel, or Zombie Mary Berry and demonstrate that while gone, they will NOT be forgotten.

This year, embrace the Great British Baking Show style for a DIY costume. Here's some suggestions to get you started.

A photo of Prue Leith with short hair, rainbow glasses, a yellow coat, and a colorful scarf next to images of a yellow jacket, a red tunic, a pair of blue glasses, and a colorful statement necklace.

Prue Leith costume

Recipe: The key here is to channel a Mondrian painting. Depending on what kind of hair you have, you'll maybe need a gray wig or gray hair paint, and a pair of square-rimmed glasses in either bright red, electric blue, or rainbow is a must. Throw on a bright blue, red, or yellow top or a solid-bright colored jacket over a color-blocked tunic. From there, layer on a whimsical piece of chunky statement jewelry and a drop a long colorful scarf around your shoulders. Wear black slacks and matching, bold-colored slip-on shoes.

Partner Costume: Paul Hollywood (bonus: you can split the cost of hair paint)

Paul Hollywood costume

Recipe: Try to look as icy and withholding as you can and practice your furrowed brow look. Wear a button-up in a solid color such as blue, olive green, black, or light pink. Remember to roll up the sleeves to mid-forearm. Leave the top two buttons on the shirt unfastened. Put on some dark blue jeans in a relaxed fit. Point at various objects at the party and say they are either "underpoofed" or "overworked." Avoid all things matcha flavored. Maybe carry around a loaf of bread.

Partner Costume: Prue Leith or Mary Berry

Sandi Toksvig costume

Recipe: Start with a blonde wig, black relaxed fit jeans, and white sensible sneakers. Choose a long-sleeve knit sweater with a simple design (think: rainbow stripes or hearts) layered over a collared blouse. Alternatively, go for the untucked button-up blouse with a bold print (think cherries or rabbits) or one in a bright, solid color such as red. Get really good at trivia.

Partner Costume: Noel Fielding

Paul wearing a blue coat stands next to Prue wearing a different color of the same bright red patterned shirt with cheetah print pocket as Sandi and Noel.

Noel Fielding costume

Recipe: The cup truly runneth over when it comes to all the ways you can dress like Noel. Pick out a shaggy black wig, some Beatle boots (glitter or leopard print optional), and a pair of very tight skinny jeans. Add to that the very loudest jumper you can find: clashing patterns, cheetah print, cartoon characters, and birds are all game. Apply lots of black eyeliner. Load up on goth jokes and do not skimp on macabre whimsy.

Partner Costume: Sandi Toksvig

Mary Berry in a pink jacket with a neck scarf smiles at an event with sheep next to images of a striped shirt, a pink blazer, a blue sweater set, and four neck scarves

Mary Berry costume

Recipe: Wear dark colored trouser jeans with a thin belt. For a top, go for a matching sweater set in a pastel shade or a bright pink collarless blazer with a striped cotton shirt. Maybe tie a silk scarf around your neck if your feeling sassy or pair the outfit with a refined set of pearls. Put on some ballet flats. Talk a lot about soggy bottoms.

Partner Costume: Paul Hollywood Trio Costume: Go as a throuple of departed cast members with Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins

Sue stands next to Mel who's wearing a blue and white striped shirt with a bright pink blazer and trousers. The photo is arranged next to images of a striped shirt, a pair of pleated trousers, a pink blazer, and silver oxfords

Mel Giedroyc costume

Recipe: Put on a pair of pleated slacks in a dark color. Wear a bold striped shirt with a hot pink or electric yellow blazer. Accessorize with a simple gold wrist watch and either oxfords or loafers.

Partner Costume: Sue Perkins

Sue Perkins stands next to Mel wearing glasses, a bright pink button down, jeans, and a blue blazer. The photo is next to images of brown oxfords, a blue blazer, a blue button down, and black framed glasses.

Sue Perkins costume

Recipe: Wear thick, square-rimmed, black glasses with a thin silver chain necklace. Your uniform includes a fitted navy blue blazer, a bright colored button up with a straight point collar, and tan oxfords. Match the outfit with a pair of blue trousers or distressed, loose fit jeans. Be prepared for a lot of people to compliment your Rachel Maddow costume. Ideally, your Mel will be there for support.

Partner Costume: Mel Giedroyc

For more ideas:

Accent your costume by dressing your pet as a pastry or a cake. Bonus points if you go for the less obvious fauna outside the walls of the tent: squirrels, sheep, and pheasants.

Security Community Rallies Around King Soopers Guard Who Was Assaulted - CBS Denver

Posted: 15 Oct 2019 12:00 AM PDT

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) – Aurora police are still trying to identify the suspect who attacked a security guard at the King Soopers on Mississippi Avenue and Chambers Road. The guard was attacked after he confronted a suspected shoplifter on Oct. 6.

"You never know which one of these guys will be the violent aggressor, compared to just all talk. It can change in a split second how you have to handle these situations," said David Middlebrooks, general manager of BOSS High Level Protection.

The King Soopers security guard isn't part of BOSS High Level Protection, but David says most security guards go through extensive training.

"The training is very similar to the expectations that law enforcement has these days, with de-escalation especially," he told CBS4's Dominic Garcia.

Aurora police say the suspect attacked the security officer so badly he was knocked unconscious. They say the suspect kicked the man in the face, leaving a shoe print on his face.

A witness stepped in to stop the attack and then started fighting with the suspect.

"It's a mix of being heartbroken for the guard and his family and angry that someone's willing to treat another human being that way," said Middlebrooks.

He adds that as Denver continues to grow, the demand for security remains high, which also means training is that much more important because guards never know who they'll have to deal with.

"Being a visual deterrent to these crimes is huge. For a lot of clients it's the primary reason they want us," he told CBS4's Dominic Garcia.

The suspect left after the attack. Police describe him as a 6-foot-tall Asian man with a mustache and black rimmed glasses. The security guard is now recovering at home.

Metro Denver Crimestoppers offered $2,000 for a reward, and the Aurora Reward Fund matched that. King Soopers added $5,000 Monday evening, and an additional reward has been offered by the group Private Officer International in the amount of $1,000, bringing the total reward potential to $10,000. Tipsters are asked to call Agent Antony Green with information at 303-739-6382.
