Malik Cupid
His name is Cupid, but he's no angel.
If he's guilty, he needs a lot of jail time.
This Cupid called no straight arrow
A New Jersey state official named Malik Cupid was charged on the eve of Valentine's Day with stealing his exgirlfriend's identity and looting her bank account while she was stationed in Iraq.
Cupid allegedly hacked into Terra Melson's AOL account, intercepted e-mails and used the information he stole to transfer $1,400 from her bank account.
The Harlem resident, who is the chief of staff for the New Jersey Department of State, spent his 31st birthday being arraigned in a Westchester courtroom.
He was released on his own recognizance.
