Thieving Elvis fan gets real Jailhouse Rock experience

A COUNCIL worker who stole more than £500,000 (€739,000) from her employers to fund her Elvis Presley obsession was yesterday jailed for three years.

Julie Wall, of Rippon Drive, Sleaford, Lincs, had taken more than £10,000 a month from North Kesteven District Council, dipping into takings from parking meters for more than a decade.

She spent the cash on rare vinyl, CDs and DVDs featuring her idol, prosecutor Sam Robinson told Lincoln Crown Court.
