Eskins, 73, is a host on 94 WIP sports radio and Audacy is the parent company of the station.

“We learned of an unwelcome kiss by Howard Eskin towards an Aramark employee at Citizens Bank Park. We take these matters very seriously. We immediately investigated and took action to address the matter,” Audacy said in a statement.

A source familiar with the investigation says the incident happened in May.

Audacy investigated the matter along with Aramark and the Phillies.

“The Phillies take these allegations very seriously. We cooperated with our partners at Audacy and Aramark on their investigations. We support Audacy’s decision to suspend Howard Eskin from Citizens Bank Park,” the Phillies said in a statement sent to NBC10.

“The safety of our employees is paramount, and when we learned that an Aramark employee had been subjected to an unwanted advance by an Audacy employee, we immediately began an investigation, which corroborated the allegations,” Aramark said in a statement.

Eskin has been a fixture in the Philadelphia sports world since the 1980s. He has been broadcasting on both radio and TV, including for WCAU. He has worked at WIP since 1986.

Eskin will remain on air during his normal time slot Saturday mornings on the radio, a source told NBC10.

NBC10 reached out to Eskin for comment but have not heard back yet.

3 dead as trash truck, transit van crash on Route 1 Bypass in Delco https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/3-dead-trash-truck-transit-van-crash-route-1-delco/3901329/ 3901329 post 9661439 NBC10 https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/Route-1-crash-burned-vehicle-Delco.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,184 Three people were killed in a crash involving a trash truck and a community transit van on Tuesday morning along a busy Delaware County road during rush hour, police said.

According to police officials in Upper Providence Township, the crash happened at about 7:55 a.m. along the Route 1 Bypass in Upper Providence Township.

The roadway between routes 252 and 352 was closed to traffic due to the incident as of about 8:20 a.m., officials said. It wouldn’t reopen until several hours later.

Three people were killed in the crash, the official noted, however they have not yet released further detail on the victims and have not said if there were others injured in the crash.

One of the vehicles appeared to be burned out as SkyForce10 hovered overhead.

On Tuesday, a representative of Delaware County’s District Attorney’s Office said that investigators believe the crash happened when a community transit van rear-ended a vehicle that was towing a dumpster.

The van caught fire, and the driver and two passengers perished in the fire, the official said.

“I woke up to the sound of, like, sirens. I heard a loud crash,” Andy Taylor, who lives near the scene of the crash told NBC10’s Karen Hua. “There was just kind of like a loud roaring kind of sound, which I’m guessing was the fire.”

According to police, officers arriving at the scene found the van in flames and two of the passengers had been extracted from the wreck by passing motorists, though the victims were pronounced at the scene.

The driver of the other vehicle was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office.

Beryl heads toward Jamaica as a major hurricane after ripping through southeast Caribbean https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/national-international/hurricane-beryl-makes-landfall-grenadine-island/3900472/ 3900472 post 9663004 AP Photo/Lucanus Ollivierre https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/AP24184631538845.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,190 Hurricane Beryl roared through open waters Tuesday as a powerful Category 4 storm heading toward Jamaica after earlier making landfall in the southeast Caribbean, killing at least six people.

A hurricane warning was in effect for Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Little Cayman, Cayman Brac and for Haiti’s entire southern coast. Beryl was forecast to start losing intensity on Tuesday but still be near major hurricane strength when it passes near or over Jamaica early Wednesday, near the Cayman Islands on Thursday and into Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula on Friday, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Late Monday, Beryl became the earliest storm to develop into a Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic, fueled by record warm waters, though it was downgraded a notch Tuesday to Category 4.

The center said Beryl was expected to bring life-threatening winds and storm surge to Jamaica, where officials warned residents in flood-prone areas to prepare for evacuation.

“I am encouraging all Jamaicans to take the hurricane as a serious threat,” Prime Minister Andrew Holness said in a public address late Monday. “It is, however, not a time to panic.”

On Tuesday night, the storm was located about 360 miles (580 kilometers) east-southeast of Kingston, Jamaica. It had top winds of 150 mph (240 kph) and was moving west-northwest at 22 mph (35 kph).

In Miami, National Hurricane Center Director Michael Brennan said Jamaica appears to be in the direct path of Beryl.

“We are most concerned about Jamaica, where we are expecting the core of a major hurricane to pass near or over the island,” he said in an online briefing. “You want to be in a safe place where you can ride out the storm by nightfall (Tuesday). Be prepared to stay in that location through Wednesday.”

Storm surge of 5-8 feet above typical tide levels are likely in Jamaica, as well as heavy rainfall.

“This is a big hazard in the Caribbean, especially with the mountainous islands,” Brennan said. “This could cause life threatening flash floods and mudslides in some of these areas.”

A tropical storm warning was in place for the entire southern coast of Hispaniola, an island shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Trail of devastation

As the storm barreled through the Caribbean Sea, rescue crews in the southeast Caribbean fanned out across the region to determine the extent of the damage that Hurricane Beryl inflicted after landing on Carriacou, an island in Grenada, as a Category 4 storm.

Three people were reported killed in Grenada and Carriacou and another in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, officials said. Two other deaths were reported in northern Venezuela, where five people are missing, officials said. Some 25,000 people in that area also were affected by heavy rainfall from Beryl.

One fatality in Grenada occurred after a tree fell on a house, Kerryne James, minister of climate resilience, environment and renewable energy, told The Associated Press.

She said the nearby islands of Carriacou and Petit Martinique sustained the greatest damage, with water, food and baby formula a priority. Beryl flattened scores of homes and businesses in Carriacou.

“The situation is grim,” Grenadian Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell told a news conference Tuesday. “There is no power, and there is almost complete destruction of homes and buildings on the island. The roads are not passable, and in many instances they are cut off because of the large quantity of debris strewn all over the streets.”

Mitchell added: “The possibility that there may be more fatalities remains a grim reality as movement is still highly restricted.”

Meanwhile, Ralph Gonsalves, prime minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, promised to rebuild the archipelago in a statement early Tuesday. He noted that 90% of homes on Union Island were destroyed, and that “similar levels of devastation” were expected on the islands of Myreau and Canouan.

The last strong hurricane to hit the southeast Caribbean was Hurricane Ivan 20 years ago, which killed dozens of people in Grenada.

Grenadian resident Roy O’Neale, 77, recalled how he lost his home to Ivan and built back stronger, with his current home sustaining minimal damage from Hurricane Beryl.

“I felt the wind whistling, and then for about two hours straight, it was really, really terrifying at times,” he said by phone. “Branches of trees were flying all over the place.”

Hundreds of people hunkered in shelters across the southeast Caribbean, including 50 adults and 20 children who huddled inside a school in Grenada.

“Maybe some of them thought they could have survived in their homes, but when they realized the severity of it … they came for cover,” said Urban Mason, a retired teacher who served as the shelter’s manager. “People tend to be complacent.”

One of the homes that Beryl damaged belongs to the parents of U.N. Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell, who is from Carriacou. The storm also destroyed the home of his late grandmother.

In a statement, Stiell said that the climate crisis is worsening, faster than expected.

“Whether in my homeland of Carriacou … hammered by Hurricane Beryl, or in the heatwaves and floods crippling communities in some of the world’s largest economies, it’s clear that the climate crisis is pushing disasters to record-breaking new levels of destruction,” he said.

Grenada, known as the “spice isle,” is one of the world’s top exporters of nutmeg. Mitchell noted that the bulk of spices are grown in the northern part of the island, which was hit hardest by Beryl.

Historic hurricane

Beryl has broken several records, including marking the farthest east that a hurricane has formed in the tropical Atlantic in June, according to Philip Klotzbach, Colorado State University hurricane researcher.

The storm strengthened from a tropical depression to a major hurricane in just 42 hours, which only six other Atlantic hurricanes have done, and never before September, according to hurricane expert Sam Lillo.

Beryl is the second named storm in the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30. Earlier this month, Tropical Storm Alberto made landfall in northeast Mexico and killed four people.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted the 2024 hurricane season would be well above average, with between 17 and 25 named storms. The forecast called for as many as 13 hurricanes and four major hurricanes.

An average Atlantic hurricane season produces 14 named storms, seven of them hurricanes, and three major hurricanes.

NJ police arrest man who, they claim, caused explosions for ‘several months' https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/nj-police-arrest-man-who-they-claim-caused-explosions-for-several-months/3901847/ 3901847 post 9562049 Getty Images https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/05/GettyImages-1497462890_26f891.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 A 71-year-old Winslow Township, New Jersey, man has been arrested after, police claim, an investigation found that he was responsible for ongoing explosions that rocked the community over the course of several months.

According to police, on Monday, officers arrested Kenneth Baldino, 71, of Winslow Township following, what they called a lengthy investigation after neighbors in the area of Fleming Pike in Hammonton complained about explosions over the course of “the past several months.”

Police officials did not detail how many times these explosions may have occurred or what Baldino is alleged to have used to cause these explosions.

But, officials said that, through this investigation, police searched Baldino’s home and, allegedly, recovered a large quantity of explosives, illegal fireworks, and high capacity firearm magazines. These items were all seized by police, officials said.

Baldino has been arrested and charged with risking widespread injury, possession of destructive devices and related offenses.

Officials said that he is in police custody at the Camden County Correctional Facility.

The lawsuit, filed by District Council 47 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, claims the mandate violates its contract and will harm city workers. The union, which represents 6,000 administrative and supervisory employees, also filed an unfair-practices complaint with the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board.

Parker announced the mandate in May, saying she wanted to create a more visible and accessible government. The decision ended the city’s virtual work policy, put in place in 2021, and essentially returns employee scheduling to what it was before the coronavirus pandemic.

About 80% of the city’s 26,000 employees have been working fully on site since last year, while the rest have worked on site 31 to 75 hours per pay period, Parker said. Former Mayor Jim Kenney had left hybrid work decisions up to department heads.

The union sharply criticized the decision when it was announced, saying it was unilaterally imposed instead of going through collective bargaining. They also believe the policy will worsen the worker shortage the city has suffered since the pandemic.

They also argue that the city lacks enough office space to bring all employees back and that making the change over the summer, when children are out of school, complicates schedules for parents.

Parker, a Democrat, has said her administration does not believe the new policy is subject to collective bargaining. She also noted changes that were made to be more worker friendly, such as extending paid parental leave from six to eight weeks and designating the Friday after Thanksgiving as a holiday. Officials have also said there will be relaxed restrictions on sick leave to care for family members.

Business leaders welcomed the announcement, saying it will benefit workers and the vibrancy of Philadelphia’s downtown.

Officer charged for critically injuring a man on a bike in a hit and run in Gloucester Township https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/officer-charged-for-critically-injuring-a-man-on-a-bike-in-a-hit-and-run-in-gloucester-township/3901980/ 3901980 post 9663094 https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/gloucester-hit-and-run.png?fit=300,169&quality=85&strip=all A Gloucester Township police officer has been arrested and charged for a hit and run involving a bicyclist on June 20 in Gloucester Township, New Jersey.

Christopher Bucceroni, 28, a nine-year veteran with the police department was identified as the driver involved in the hit and run that resulted in serious injuries.

He has been charged with third-degree knowingly leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident resulting in serious bodily injury.

On June 20, at approximately 2;27 a.m. the Gloucester Police Department was called to the area of Erial Road and Blackwood-Clementon Road for a hit and run collision between a car and a bicyclist, according to the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office.

Investigators determined that a dark colored SUV struck an 18-year-old man on a bicycle and failed to stop. The victim was found in the road suffering from serious injuries, police said.

The bicyclist was transported to the hospital where he remains in critical condition

Bucceroni was off duty and driving his personally owned vehicle, a 2020 Toyota Rav 4, at the time of crash.

On June 21, Bucceroni, of West Deptford, surrendered his personal vehicle and himself to police.

The investigation was immediately turned over to the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Special Prosecutions Unit.

Bucceroni has been suspended without pay, with the intent to dismiss, Gloucester Township Police Chief David Harkins said in a statement.

“The men and women that I work with are good and noble public servants who go out day in and day out to serve our community with integrity and honor. We would ask that we not be judged by the off-duty actions of this one officer,” Harkins said in a statement. “Our heartfelt prayers and wishes for a full and speedy recovery, go out [to] the victim and his family.”

Drexel professor accused of stealing pro-Israel signs from synagogue, home in Lower Merion https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/drexel-university-pro-israel-signs-lower-merion-pennsylvania-israel-hamas-war/3901995/ 3901995 post 9663258 https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/Our-Community-Stands-With-Israel-signs.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 A Drexel University professor is one of three women accused of stealing pro-Israel signs from outside a synagogue and a home in Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania, last year.

On Nov. 24, 2023, at 12:58 a.m., a Lower Merion Township police officer was driving when he spotted a white Honda CRV that was stopped at a curb outside the Main Line Reform Temple on 410 East Montgomery Avenue in the town’s Wynnewood section, investigators said.

The officer then spotted two women – later identified as Sarah Prickett, 39, of Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, and Sam Penn, 25, of New York — walking towards the SUV. Investigators said at the time there were recent reports of religious signs being stolen or defaced in Lower Merion Township which raised the officer’s suspicions. The officer then approached the Honda and found Prickett, Penn and a third woman, later identified as Mariana Chilton, 56, of Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, inside the vehicle, according to the criminal complaint. Investigators said the officer also spotted several pro-Israel signs inside the SUV.

The officer repeatedly told the women to lower the window, identified himself and asked the group about the signs inside the SUV, investigators said. Chilton then told him, “We are just taking them because we feel like it is a representative of genocide,” according to the criminal complaint.

When the officer told the women that the signs inside the vehicle belonged to the temple and that they had stolen them, Chilton allegedly replied, “Do you know what we can do sir, is we can just put them back.”

When the officer asked all three women for their identification, they allegedly became uncooperative and asked him why he needed their information.

Chilton told the officer she didn’t have her license or vehicle registration but gave him an insurance card for the SUV, according to the criminal complaint. The officer determined Chilton was the owner of the vehicle and had a valid license but had not registered it with her updated address.

After all of the women identified themselves, the officer moved the signs from the SUV, investigators said. One of the signs stated, “MLRT Stands With Israel,” two of the signs stated “We Stand With Israel,” and one of the signs stated, “Our Community Stands With Israel,” according to the criminal complaint.

On Nov. 27, 2023, at 9:33 a.m., the officer responded to the 500 block of Manor Road in Wynnewood for a report of a theft. The homeowner, Stephen Chopnick, told the officer he noticed someone had stolen his two “We Stand With Israel” signs from his front yard and he had last seen them four days earlier. Investigators later determined those two signs were the same signs that were found inside Chilton’s vehicle, according to the criminal complaint.

The officer then met with a woman who lived nearby. The woman showed the officer home surveillance video that captured Chilton’s Honda CRV driving past her home around the same time as the theft, investigators said.

That same day, the officer met with the executive director of the Main Line Reform Temple. She told the officer a security company that monitors the temple informed her that several pro-Israel signs had been stolen from the property. She later identified the stolen signs as the same ones that were found inside Chilton’s vehicle, according to the criminal complaint.

Chilton, Prickett and Penn were all arrested in connection to the incident.

Chilton is charged with conspiracy – theft by unlawful taking – movable property, conspiracy – criminal trespass, driving an unregistered vehicle, notice of change of name or address, failure to carry a license and receiving stolen property. Her case was moved to county court and is currently in the pretrial stage.

Prickett and Penn are both charged with theft by unlawful taking – movable property, receiving stolen property and criminal trespassing.

During an interview with NBC10 on Tuesday, July 2, 2024, Chopnick told NBC10 he had replaced the stolen signs with new ones that also support Israel.

“I wouldn’t take a sign down. I’ve certainly seen signs that I don’t agree with,” Chopnick said. “I assumed it was somebody who took a different view of the issues in the Middle East than I do.”

Chilton is a professor at the Dornsife School of Public Health at Drexel University in Philadelphia. She is also the director of Dornsife’s Center for Hunger-Free Communities, a research and advocacy center that focuses on developing solutions for hunger and economic insecurity. She also founded Witnesses to Hunger, a research and advocacy project that partners with experts on mothers and caregivers of young children who have experienced hunger and poverty.

Chilton also served as the co-chair of the National Commission on Hunger and was appointed to advise Congress and the United States Department of Agriculture on how to end hunger in America.

NBC10 reached out to Chilton’s attorney as well as Drexel University for statements. We have not yet heard back from them.

High school football player shot, killed in Chester, officials say https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/high-school-football-player-shot-killed-chester/3901957/ 3901957 post 9663062 Getty Images https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/GettyImages-1497462890.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 A school district in Chester, Pennsylvania is mourning the loss of one of its own after a 17-year-old boy was shot and killed Sunday night.

According to police, around 6:40 p.m. officers from the City of Chester Police Department responded to the area of 24th Street and Crosby Street after receiving reports of gunshots being fired.

Upon arrival, police said officers found a teen – later identified as 17-year-old Zaheem Sabree – laying on the street suffering from a gunshot wound to the left side of his head.

Police said Sabree was transported to the hospital were he later died from his injuries.

Police are now urging anyone with information regarding this incident to contact City of Chester Police Department Detective Michael Maher at 610-447-8428 or Delaware County Criminal Investigation Division Detective Sean Gallagher.

In a news release, Chester Upland School District confirmed that Sabree was a rising 12th grader and a dedicated member of the High School’s football prom since his sophomore year.

District officials wrote a statement saying in part:

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends during this heartbreaking and difficult time.

The shocking passing of Zaheem yesterday is a major loss for our school community and affects everyone from classmates to teachers who had the privilege of knowing him. His dedication and spirit as a member of our High School football program is irreplaceable and he will be missed by his teammates and coaches, who remember him not just as a player, but as a friend on and off the field.

Although school is not in session for the summer months, CUSD has put support services in place for staff and students since yesterday, and these services will be available through Wednesday, July 3.

Support services will be available at STEM Academy at Showalter, located at 1100 W. 10th Street, Chester, PA 19013. Additionally, anyone who needs services next week is encouraged to reach out to the district’s central administration office.”

Dog owners in Delaware could soon be fined for their pet's barking https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/dog-owners-delaware-fined-barking/3901419/ 3901419 post 8889003 Getty Images/iStockphoto https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2023/09/dog-attack.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Pet owners who allow their dogs to bark excessively could soon face fines in Delaware.

New legislation has passed through the state legislature and is now awaiting approval from Delaware Governor John Carney, a Democrat, that would introduce fines of up to $150 for each offense when owners allow their dogs to bark excessively.

According to the legislation, anyone who allows their dog to bark for “an extended period” — defined in the bill as continuously for 15 minutes or intermittently for 30 minutes or more — could be fined.

The bill notes that for a first offence, pet owners would receive a warning. For a second excessive barking offense, an owner could be fined $50. A third violation would cost $100 and, any subsequent violation could see pet owners fined $150 for each time.

There are, however, some exceptions to this bill. The act exempts barking dogs if a person is trespassing on private property or if an animal is intruding on private property and if the dog is being teased or provoked.

Any dogs located in animal shelters, pet stores, dog grooming facilities, veterinarian’s offices and animal clinics would not be included in this legislation.

Also, dogs that are engaged in hunting, training, dog exhibitions, lawful performance competitions and herding would be exempted from this legislation, as well.

If this legislation is signed into law, it would take effect a year after the Governor enacts the bill.

Invasive jellyfish with painful sting turning up at the Jersey Shore https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/critter-corner/invasive-clinging-jellyfish-jersey-shore/3901374/ 3901374 post 9661574 NBC10 https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/Jellyfish.png?fit=300,169&quality=85&strip=all Tiny creatures with a big sting are turning up in larger numbers at the Jersey Shore.

They’re called clinging jellyfish, small in size but have a painful sting so potent it could require a trip to the hospital.

These creatures have turned up mostly in back bays from Monmouth County all the way to Cape May, typically in shallow water with algae. Finding them in the ocean is highly unlikely.

Director of Marine Biology and Coastal Sciences at Montclair State University Dr. Paul Bologna has been studying the invasive clinging jellyfish since experts first confirmed their presence in New Jersey eight years ago.

Bologna even takes his students on the water with him so they too can learn and understand the jellyfish.

“Consistently over time we are seeing them and that means that there’s enough of them here that the population is stable, which also means that it’s potentially growing,” Bologna said.

Earlier this year, a discovery near a beach in Brick Township caught researchers off guard. They found clinging jellyfish about 3 miles upriver from where the Metedeconk meets Barnegat Bay.

“We’ve never had them that far up river,” Bologna said. “It was really low salinity. We really were not expecting them. So that means that their ability to survive in our estuaries is really high.”

Their numbers usually start to go down when the water warms up, often around the 4th of July.

Caution remains key for these small jellies with a big sting.

US gives key approval to Atlantic Shores offshore wind farm in NJ https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/green/approval-atlantic-shores-offshore-wind-new-jersey/3901368/ 3901368 post 9158502 AP Photo/Wayne Parry https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2023/12/AP23324672276755.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,214

What to Know

  • The U.S. Interior Department has approved the proposed Atlantic Shores offshore wind farm in New Jersey. Tuesday’s approval gives a major boost to a project that would be the state’s first.
  • The project still requires an additional federal approval of its construction and operations plan and two state-level permits before construction can begin.
  • Interior Secretary Deb Haaland says this is the ninth offshore wind project approved under the Biden administration. Atlantic Shores would be built between Atlantic City and Long Beach Island with 195 wind turbines.

The U.S. Interior Department approved the proposed Atlantic Shores offshore wind farm in New Jersey on Tuesday, giving a major boost to a project that would be the state’s first.

The project still requires an additional federal approval of its construction and operations plan, along with two state-level permits, before construction can begin.

Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said the department’s decision marked the ninth offshore wind project approved under the Biden administration, green-lighting 13 gigawatts of electricity, enough to power 5 million homes.

“The Biden-Harris administration is building momentum every day for our clean energy future, and today’s milestone is yet another step toward our ambitious goal of deploying 30 gigawatts of offshore energy by 2030,” she said in a statement. “Our clean energy future is now a reality. We are addressing climate change, fostering job growth, and promoting equitable economic opportunities for all communities.”

The project, consisting of two phases, would be built between Atlantic City and Long Beach Island in southern New Jersey. It would generate 2,800 megawatts, enough to power 1 million homes.

“This milestone brings us one step closer to delivering New Jersey’s first offshore wind projects, and for the state achieving its ambitious goal of 100% clean energy by 2035,” Joris Veldhoven, Atlantic Shores’ CEO, said in a statement. “We recognize the significance of this milestone, and we’re thrilled to work with our supply chain partners to continue making near-term investments and creating great paying union jobs.”

Opponents of offshore wind are well organized and vocal in New Jersey, and one of several groups against the plan, Protect Our Coast-NJ, said the federal and state governments “are forging ahead like a bull in a China shop, hurting overburdened communities and our incredible ocean with unwanted industrial construction projects.”

“Offshore wind construction and operations disrupts wildlife and ecosystems, and threatens the livelihoods of commercial fishermen and small businesses up and down the East coast,” the group said in a statement.

Atlantic Shores, which was given preliminary approval in 2021 by New Jersey utility regulators, has now gotten nearly as far as a previously approved project that would have been New Jersey’s first offshore wind farm. Danish wind developer Orsted was close to beginning work on two offshore wind farms but scrapped the project in Oct. 2023 after deciding it would not be economical.

Many of the state’s major environmental groups issued statements praising Atlantic Shores’ approval, saying it proves that offshore wind has regained its footing in New Jersey after the Orsted setback.

“The Biden administration’s approval of the Atlantic Shores project is good for our climate, our public health, our workers, and our wallets,” said Anjuli Busot-Ramos, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. “We are proud to see New Jersey move towards renewable energy and offshore wind development, and away from dirty fossil fuels.”

Doug O’Malley, director of Environment New Jersey, added: “On the cusp of a historic heat wave, there is no better week for the federal government to give a green light to the Atlantic Shores offshore wind project. Every year without offshore wind providing power to our electric grid is another year we are overly dependent on fossil fuels to power our electric grid.”

The Interior Department said the project would be about 8.7 miles from shore at its closest point. But the company has previously said that it will not built right up to that line and that the closest turbines will be at least 12.8 miles from shore.

Atlantic Shores is a joint partnership between Shell New Energies US LLC and EDF-RE Offshore Development LLC.

The Interior Department approved construction of 195 wind turbines as part of the project; the company had sought up to 200.

Police investigate after guitars stolen from North Philly School of Rock https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/police-investigate-guitars-stolen-north-philly-school-of-rock/3901638/ 3901638 post 9662197 Philadelphia Police Department https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/school-of-rock-burglary-7-2-24.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Police have shared a story that starts with a sour note as law enforcement officials are seeking help to identify the individual — or individuals — responsible after the School of Rock in North Philadelphia was recently burglarized.

According to police, in incidents that were captured on surveillance cameras, an individual — or possibly two separate individuals — burglarized the school, located along the 400 block of N. 7th Street, over the course of two days, June 26 and 27.

Police shared video of these incidents on social media.

According to police, over the course of these two days, the School of Rock was burglarized and those responsible are believed to have stolen “numerous guitars and electronics.”

However, police are still working to determine of the same individual was responsible for the crimes on both days or if a different person may have been responsible for a burglary on each day.

The suspect from the June 26, 2024 incident was described by police as a man with a thin build and wearing all dark clothing. In the incident from the next day, police described the person believed to be responsible similarly as a man with a thin build who wore a a blue and white hat with “Viamericas” on the front and a blue and white baseball style jersey with “New York” and the number 2 on the front and the number 2 on the back during the crime.

Anyone who may have information on these crimes is asked to contact the Philadelphia Police Department’s Central Detective Division at 215-686-3093/3094 or to submit a tip to the police tip line at 215-686-TIPS (8477).

The U.K.’s FTSE index is seen opening 32 points higher at 8,151, Germany’s DAX up 58 points at 18,210, France’s CAC 40 up 34 points at 7,567 and Italy’s FTSE MIB up 188 points at 33,832, according to data from IG.

Regional markets digested the latest consumer price data from the euro zone yesterday, which showed headline inflation in the euro area dipped to 2.5% in June, in line with the expectations of economists polled by Reuters.

However, the closely watched figures for core and services inflation remained stubbornly high, holding at 2.9% and 4.1%, respectively.

There are no major earnings or data releases Wednesday.

PennDOT to open new Cottman Ave. ramp to I-95, complete rebuild of interchange destroyed in explosion https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/penndot-opens-cottman-ave-ramp-i-95-interchange-destroyed-explosion/3901529/ 3901529 post 9661311 NBC10 https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/32651095031-1080pnbcstations.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 On Tuesday, just about a year after after a deadly tanker truck explosion destroyed part of I-95 in Northeast Philadelphia, PennDOT officials were set to cut the ribbon on a new ramp to complete the project to rebuild the interchange onto I-95 at Cottman Avenue.

Officials were expected to open the new ramp to traffic at about noon on Tuesday.

The effort completes the third and final project that was part of a widening effort of I-95 and a reconstruction effort on the interchange of Cottman Avenue to I-95 that was damaged when a tanker truck exploded on the roadway on June 11, 2023.

Along with a new ramp, the project also saw I-95 widened to four lanes between Rhawn and Levick streets.

The project was part of a $52.7 million contract and it also provided for improved surface streets serving the interchange and rerouted a sanitary sewer in order to accommodate the construction of the new ramp.

Recently, investigators learned that gasoline spilled out from an unsecured hatch on the top of the gasoline delivery tanker that overturned and ignited beneath an Interstate 95 bridge in Philadelphia a year ago, according to new details from federal investigators.

Investigators believe the cover to the 16-inch “manhole” was open when driver Nathan Moody arrived at a Wilmington, Delaware, terminal to refill the tank and it was still not properly secured when he drove away to deliver it to a convenience store in Philadelphia, about 42 miles away.

The crash killed Moody and disrupted transportation along a vital interstate for weeks.

Cheyney University no longer on probation, accreditation reaffirmed https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/cheyney-university-no-longer-on-probation-accreditation-reaffirmed/3901636/ 3901636 post 9662183 NBC10 https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/Cheyney-University.png?fit=300,169&quality=85&strip=all Cheyney University of Pennsylvania is no longer on probation.

The Middle States Commission on Higher Education has reaffirmed the accreditation for the historically Black college.

Last fall, the Commission placed Cheyney on probation while citing deficiencies in areas including “ethics and integrity,” “design and delivery of students learning experience” and compliance with financial planning.

The Commission said Cheyney is now in “now in compliance with those standards”.

“While we agree with this decision, we remain disappointed by the process to arrive at this long-overdue outcome and will continue to advocate for equity and transparency,” the university said in a statement.

The Commission said Cheyney’s next evaluation visit is scheduled for 2030-2031

Five people shot as dozens of bullets fly in South Philly takeout shooting https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/south-philly-takeout-shooting/3901298/ 3901298 post 9661401 NBC10 https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/27th-and-Dickinson-shooting.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 Five men were hurt in a shootout at a South Philadelphia takeout spot, with bullets narrowly missing a child and others inside the restaurant, Philadelphia police said.

At least two people began shooting into the Twin Dragon takeout restaurant at South 27th and Dickinson streets in the Grays Ferry neighborhood shortly before 10:25 p.m. on Monday, July 1, 2024, Philadelphia police said.

At least one person inside the store began firing back, Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.

Léelo en español aquí.

Five men — aged between 21 and 45 — were hurt, four were shot in the legs and one was struck in his arm, police said. Originally police only reported four people were shot.

Police transported one man to the hospital, while the other four arrived in private cars, investigators said. They were all hospitalized in stable condition at area hospitals.

Five customers inside the takeout, including a child under the age of 10, were not struck by bullets, Small said.

Investigators found evidence of at least 40 shots being fired outside the takeout and another 12 being fired from inside, Small said. Police found at least one gun at the scene.

The shooters outside the store appeared to have fled in a dark-colored SUV, Small said.

At least one gunshot victim was being held as a suspect, Small said.

Police also held a car that was used to bring a gunshot victim to the hospital so it could be investigated for clues.

No motive was known for the shooting and investigators hoped surveillance video would help them track down gunmen, Small said.

Police asked that anyone with information call the Shooting Investigation Group at 215-686-8270 or submit a tip anonymously by calling or texting 215-686-TIPS (8477).

This wasn’t the first time a shooting took place at this same Chinese takeout restaurant as a teen was shot there while begging for his life back in 2017.

There are additional resources for people or communities that have endured gun violence in Philadelphia. Further information can be found here.

Pair sought for repeatedly using fake bills at Chester Co. gas station https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/pair-repeatedly-fake-bills-chester-co-gas-station/3901321/ 3901321 post 9661604 Kennett Square Police Department https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/image-34.png?fit=300,169&quality=85&strip=all Police in Chester County are looking for help from the public to identify two men who, officials claim, have used counterfeit bills repeatedly at the same gas station in Kennett Square.

And, officials said, the same men may have used fake currency in an incident that happened at a CVS in East Bradford Township, as well.

Officials said the first incident happened on May 30, at about 9:15 p.m., when a pair of men entered a Star Gas and Diesel store along the 700 block of W. Cypress Street in Kennett Square and purchased several items using a fake $100 bill.

The same men, police believe, attempted to use counterfeit cash at that same store about two weeks prior. However, in that case, police officials said, a worker at the store noticed that the bill wasn’t real and confiscated it.

The men were both described at standing at about five-foot, five-inches tall and rode BMX-style bikes to the gas station.

Also, police are working to determine if the same men may have been involved in passing a counterfeit bill at a CVS in East Bradford Township late last month.

In this case, police said, someone used counterfeit bills to fraudulently purchase items at a CVS located along the 700 block of Miles Road at about 8 p.m. on June 30.

Police are asking anyone who might be able to provide information on these crimes to contact Officer Ortiz of the Kennett Square Police Department at jortiz@kennettsquarepolice.org or you can submit a tip online.

‘Bethlehem, this one's for you': Lehigh Valley IronPigs reveal new City Connect Series line https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/sports/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/lehigh-valley-ironpigs-city-connect-series-line-bethlehem/3901489/ 3901489 post 9662019 https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/IronPigs-Bethlehem-City-Connect-Line.png?fit=300,169&quality=85&strip=all The Lehigh Valley IronPigs – the Triple-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies – revealed the new City Connect Series line and this year they’re honoring the city of Bethlehem.

The new jersey, hat, and merchandise collection takes inspiration from the ubiquitous Bethlehem Star. The letter style is also meant to be a nod to Bethlehem Steel logo.

Back in 2023, the IronPigs started their City Connect Series to honor each of the primary cities that make up the Lehigh Valley which include Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton.

Last year, the team paid homage to the local Allentown department store, Hess’s and its famous strawberry pie with a logo of the delicious dessert and jersey that featured the classic Hess’s print from their branding.

Next, in 2025 Easton will be honored.

The IronPigs will wear the new Bethlehem jerseys and caps on Friday, July 19 when they take on the Worcester Red Sox at Coca-Cola Park at 7:05pm.

Tickets for that game are available at milb.com/lehigh-valley.

Police said two masked gunmen entered the St. Louis backyard of the bride, Dulce Gonzalez, early Saturday as guests continued celebrating the couple’s small home wedding, NBC affiliate KSDK-TV reported Monday.

Her sister, Yaribeth Peña, told the station that two men wearing ski masks ordered guests not to move.

Police told the station that one gunman stood behind the groom, 32-year-old Manuel Gonzalez, as the other rifled through guests’ pockets.

Then one of the gunmen shot the groom in the head before they both fled.

Peña said her sister is “distraught,” “depressed” and “heartbroken” as her new husband struggles to recover.

“He’s fighting for his life,” Peña said. “We are hoping he pulls through.”

The couple share two children.

Police have not made any arrests in the case.

Democrats call former President Trump ‘threat to our democracy' after SCOTUS immunity ruling https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/decision-2024/democrats-scotus-trump-immunity-ad/3901242/ 3901242 post 9658626 Marco Bello | Reuters https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/108000223-1719845274933-108000223-17198374732024-06-28t025536z_1369210006_rc21k8a9pvoc_rtrmadp_0_usa-election-debate.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,176 In the wake of the Supreme Court ruling on the bounds of presidential immunity, the Democratic National Committee is launching a digital ad campaign in the Philadelphia area calling former President Donald Trump “the greatest threat to American democracy.”

The campaign — which the DNC calls a homepage takeover directing readers to digital ads — is set to launch Tuesday when readers access The Philadelphia Inquirer website, a DNC spokesperson told NBC10. The ads use clips of last week’s debate when the former president was asked if he would accept the results of the election regardless of who wins.  

Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, responded that he would “absolutely” accept them “if it’s a fair and legal and good election.”

The ads, which are also slated to appear to readers of the Arizona Republic and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, display the words: “Fraud. Liar. Denier.” 

The ad campaign comes as the Supreme Court ruled Monday in connection to the federal election interference case against Trump. The majority opinion stated that presidents are immune from prosecution for some actions, but not all — drawing a distinction between official and unofficial acts. 

The court sent the case back to a lower court to sort out which actions cited in the indictment were covered by immunity, though offered guidance including saying Trump talking with the Vice President about his role on January 6th was “at least presumptively immune” from prosecution. 

Former President Trump on his Truth Social account posted Monday “BIG WIN FOR OUR CONSTITUTION AND DEMOCRACY. PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!” 

Democratic President Joe Biden spoke about the Supreme Court decision on Monday night, calling the decision a “dangerous precedent” and saying “I dissent.” 

The DNC said the decision underscores the stakes of the election, and DNC spokesperson Abhi Rahman called Trump “the most existential threat to America’s democracy yet.”

“Trump has shown over and over again that he has no remorse for his role in the insurrection on our nation’s capital, and now that the Supreme Court has emboldened his dangerous pursuit of power, there’s no doubt that his number one priority in a second term would be dismantling democracy as we know it,” Rahmi said in a statement.

Woman shot in back by 3-year-old in Northampton Co., police say https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/woman-shot-back-3-year-old-northampton-co-police/3901302/ 3901302 post 9582589 Getty Images/iStockphoto https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/05/tlmd-police.line_.123-6.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Police in Wilson, in Northampton County, are investigating after a woman was shot in the back on Monday when a man left a loaded handgun in a room full of toddlers, officials claim.

According to police, the incident happened at a property along the 2200 block of Forest St. on Monday where a 33-year-old woman told officers that she was shot in the back by a three-year-old child.

Officials shared information of the incident online on Monday.

An investigation into the incident revealed that, prior to the shooting, 41-year old Brian Siegfried, of Williams Township, was spotted by witnesses playing with a handgun on the front porch of the home, according to police.

Law enforcement officials said that, in an interview with Siegfried, he told officers that he “cocked the gun and places it on a table and walked across the street.”

Léelo en español aquí.

In a statement to police, officials claim, Siegfried told investigators he “got tired” of holding the gun and put it down in a room where four toddlers, all under the age of five, were in direct vicinity of the handgun.

At some point, a three-year-old picked up the loaded weapon and accidently shot the victim, police said.

According to law enforcement officials, the woman was taken to a nearby hospital where she underwent surgery and was expected to survive.

The child was not harmed in this incident, officials said.

Siegfried has been arrested and police said, he has been charged with aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and gun violations as he was subject of a protection from abuse order and was not legally permitted to possess a firearm.

Sen. Bob Menendez's defense begins with sister testifying about family tradition of storing cash https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/sen-bob-menendezs-defense-sister-testifying-family-tradition-storing-cash/3900505/ 3900505 post 9660157 AP Photo/Larry Neumeister https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/AP24183560694060.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Sen. Bob Menendez’s sister came to her brother’s defense Monday, testifying at the start of the defense presentation at his bribery trial that she wasn’t surprised to learn that the Democrat stored cash at home because “it’s a Cuban thing.”

Caridad Gonzalez, 80, was called by Menendez’s lawyers to support their argument that hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash found in the Menendez’s residence during a 2022 raid was not unusual for a man whose parents fled Cuba in 1951 with only the cash hidden at home.

“It’s normal. It’s a Cuban thing,” she said when she was asked for her reaction to Menendez directing her to pull $500 in $100 bills from a boot-sized box in a closet of his daughter’s bedroom in the 1980s when she worked for him as a legal secretary.

She testified that everyone who left Cuba in the 1960s and 1970s kept cash at home because “they were afraid of losing what they worked so hard for because, in Cuba, they took everything away from you.”

Prosecutors say more than $486,000 in cash, over $100,000 in gold bars and a luxury car found at the Menendez home in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, during the 2022 raid were bribe proceeds.

Menendez, 70, was born in Manhattan and raised in the New Jersey cities of Hoboken and Union City before practicing as a lawyer and launching his political career, Gonzalez said.

He has pleaded not guilty to bribery, fraud, extortion, obstruction of justice and acting as a foreign agent of Egypt.

He is on trial with two New Jersey businessmen who pleaded not guilty after they were accused of paying him bribes to get favors that would aid them in their business and investment pursuits. A third businessman pleaded guilty and testified against his codefendants.

Menendez’s wife, Nadine, has pleaded not guilty to charges in the case, although her trial has been postponed while she recovers from breast cancer surgery.

During her testimony, Gonzalez told the dramatic story of her family’s exit from Cuba, saying they had a comfortable existence that included a chauffeur and enabled them to become the first family in their neighborhood to get a television before a competitor of her father’s tie and bow tie business used his influence to disrupt their life.

She said the man wanted her father to close his business and work for him and enlisted four police officers and two government officials to ransack their home one day.

She said her father stored his cash in a secret compartment of a grandfather clock that went undiscovered during the raid.

Once the family moved to America and the future senator was born, the story of their escape and the importance of the cash became a topic told over dinner as her father recounted Cuba’s history, she said.

“Daddy always said: ‘Don’t trust the banks. If you trust the banks, you never know what can happen. So you must always have money at home,’” she recalled.

She said other members of her family stored cash at home too, including an aunt whose home burned down without destroying the $60,000 in cash she had stored in the basement.

Later Monday, a sister of Menendez’s wife distanced the senator from his wife’s belongings, including gold and jewelry, and said her sister had not divulged her financial troubles to her, except to once ask if she would cosign on a financial loan after she defaulted on her house payments.

Menendez’s lawyers say the senator’s wife kept him in the dark about her money problems and help she got from businessmen to solve them.

Under the Boardwalk: Officials vow to address homelessness in Atlantic City https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/boardwalk-homelessness-atlantic-city/3900763/ 3900763 post 9661361 AP Photo/Wayne Parry https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/AP24183652639923.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,225

What to Know

  • Atlantic City is making an effort to address its homeless population, offering help even while vowing to crack down on people sleeping outdoors on public property.
  • In the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling enabling municipalities to ban homeless encampments, Atlantic City plans to enact an ordinance banning sleeping on public property. It could take effect in September.
  • City outreach teams offer social services, drug or alcohol rehab, and a temporary place to stay. But many refuse the offers.

In a place with a long history of people living — and sometimes dying — under the Boardwalk, Atlantic City has launched an effort to address homelessness by preventing people from sleeping on public property and connecting them with shelter and services.

The effort comes only days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that municipalities can ban homeless encampments, something the city said would support its efforts to address homelessness.

It follows an April 19 fire that killed a man in a homeless encampment under the Boardwalk, months after another fire suspected of being started by homeless people burned a section of the boardwalk in front of Resorts casino. The damage has since been repaired.

“We cannot claim to be this world-class resort (if) we don’t handle the problems that the resort sometimes encounters,” said Mayor Marty Small, a Democrat.

The city is implementing plans by its Boardwalk Improvement Group, which includes using state funds to pay for workers, training and equipment to seek out homeless people and offer them help, including transportation back to where they came from.

But that offer is often rejected. Out of about 200 homeless people that city officials encountered since September, only five have accepted an offer to go back home, officials said.

Many others refuse help of any kind, said Jarrod Barnes, Atlantic City’s director of health and human services.

“When that happens, there is nothing we can do,” he said. “We can’t force them to accept help.”

A tour by city officials of places known to be where homeless people stay was only minutes old when they encountered a disoriented man sprawled across a sidewalk in the midday sun. An ambulance was called and he was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation.

Not far away, in a vacant lot strewn with empty liquor bottles, two young women, who both described themselves as homeless, acknowledged having been assisted multiple times by city outreach teams.

Essence, who would not give her last name, said she was given a free stay at a motel by the city, but returned to the streets. At one point, she said, she lived in a homeless encampment under the Boardwalk, until police broke it up.

Tanisha, who also would not give her last name, said she had no idea where she would spend the night on Monday.

“We’re just trying to make a way, find a way,” she said.

But she acknowledged she and others living outdoors are not always ready to accept help.

“It’s really up to us to do what we got to do first,” she said. “The struggle is real.”

In the wake of the Supreme Court ruling, Atlantic City plans to introduce an ordinance in the coming weeks that would prohibit sleeping in public places. It could be adopted and put into place by September.

The outreach effort includes 10 full-time workers assigned to find and interact with people who are homeless, offering social services, a pathway into drug or alcohol rehab if needed, and a place to stay. Police assign officers to regularly patrol spots known as homeless gathering points, and police, fire department and public works officers have been trained on interacting with homeless people.

Small noted that some of the homeless encampments have shown signs of real ingenuity. Refrigerators and microwave ovens have been patched into jerry-rigged electrical connections.

And, he added, inhabitants at one encampment managed to tap into the hose of a line under the Boardwalk providing beer to a casino’s beachfront bar.

NJ newcomer makes veteran gymnastics team as youngest Olympian for Team USA https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/national-international/hezly-rivera-team-usa-gymnastics/3900467/ 3900467 post 9658618 Getty Images https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/GettyImages-2159514547-e1719845271156.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Last month she was celebrating her 16th birthday, and in a matter of weeks Hezly Rivera will be in Paris competing for Team USA alongside Olympic veterans Simone Biles and Suni Lee.

The gymnast from New Jersey landed a coveted spot on the women’s gymnastics team over the weekend after a stellar performance at the U.S. trials in Minneapolis. At just 16 years old, she’s currently the youngest athlete of any sport competing on behalf of Team USA later this month.

The relative newcomer will compete for Olympic medals for the first time on the world stage, but she’s no stranger to winning. She recently competed in the 2024 Winter Cup, where she placed third all-around and clinched gold on the balance beam.

“I am so grateful to be here and to be selected on this Olympic team. I have made so many sacrifices to get here so I want to thank God, my coaches, family, my friends and my teammates. I just can’t believe that I am here,” Rivera told NBC DFW after making the team.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA – JUNE 30: (L-R) Suni Lee, Simone Biles, Hezly Rivera, Jordan Chiles and Jade Carey pose after being selected for the 2024 U.S. Olympic Women’s Gymnastics Team on Day Four of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Gymnastics Trials at Target Center on June 30, 2024 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)

Rivera said she managed to keep her cool during the trials, despite going up against a roster of former Olympians.

“I thought of it as every other meet. Just going out there and doing my thing, basically doing what I do in the gym. I was just thinking its just me and my beam or just me and the bar. I try to calm myself down beforehand. I [was thinking] I’m like the underdog and there wasn’t so much pressure on me which was probably a good thing. I just went out there and did my thing,” she said.

New Jersey seems to be building a reputation for getting young athletes onto Team USA. Eight years ago, Old Bridge’s Laurie Hernandez traveled to Rio where she won a team gold and an individual silver medal on balance beam.

Who is on the women’s U.S. Gymnastics roster for the 2024 Olympics?

  • Simone Biles
  • Jordan Chiles
  • Suni Lee
  • Jade Carey
  • Hezly Rivera
  • Joscelyn Roberson (traveling replacement athlete)
  • Leanne Wong (traveling replacement athlete)

Upper Merion Township bans plastic utensils from restaurants https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/green/upper-merion-township-plastic-utensil-bag-ban-king-of-prussia-pennsylvania-environment/3900812/ 3900812 post 6626244 KVEA https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2021/11/11-15-2021-Plastic-Utensils-Los-Angeles.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,154 Customers will no longer be able to use plastic forks or spoons at restaurants in Upper Merion, Pennsylvania, as phase two of the township’s single-use plastic ban went into effect on Monday, July 1, 2024.

During a business meeting back on July 13, 2023, the Upper Merion Township Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance amending the township’s code to regulate the usage of single-use plastic products.

Phase one of the plan, which banned single-use carry-out plastic bags, plastic straws, and expanded polystyrene food service products at restaurants, went into effect on Jan. 1, 2024.

Township officials said the ordinance helps improve the environment by reducing unnecessary waste. Township officials also said stores and takeout spots can charge 10 cents for reusable bags to deal with rising costs.  

Businesses who violate the ordinance will first receive a written warning and will then be fined $50 for the first violation, $100 for the second violation and then $250 for the third and subsequent violations.

Tony Capone, owner of Angelo’s Pizza in King of Prussia, told NBC10 he’ll never charge his customers for bags. Despite not being a fan of the ban, however, he still stocked his business up with paper containers and paper straws.

“It’s a lot on us. Especially mom and shop places like us,” Capone said. “And if you go to fancy restaurants, they store a lot of plastic out there. Not that I go to fancy restaurants much. Because I cannot afford it.”

Debbie Biddle, a customer at Screwballs, a bar in King of Prussia, also told NBC10 she wasn’t a fan of the rule.

“I don’t like it,” Biddle said. “The reason being is everything else is in plastic, okay? You buy your vegetables. You buy your meats. Everything’s in plastic. So the consumer, I think is suffering with this.”

Christopher and Christina Cook — Connecticut residents who were traveling in the area and stopped at the King of Prussia Service Plaza — also weighed in on the plastic ban.

“We don’t get plastic bags in Connecticut. We haven’t for years. So, it’s not a big deal,” Christina Cook said. “Utensils is weird. I don’t like that. That’s not convenient for travelers. But the bag thing is not new for us.”

Other customers at the service plaza said they supported the ordinance, with one man calling it great for the environment.

Upper Merion Township is offering free reusable shopping bags for residents and customers at the Upper Merion Township building. The bags include a QR code which links out to more information on the town’s single-use plastic ordinance, which you can find here or in the document embedded below.

Twelve states and more than 500 cities across the country have implemented bans on single-use plastic bags. The bans have helped reduce litter and pollution, according to the research and policy center, Environment America.

Person ejected during crash involving 2 trucks, SUV on I-78 in Berks County, state police say https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/traffic/i-78-truck-crash-suv-pennsylvania-hamburg-berks-county/3900493/ 3900493 post 9658868 https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/I-78-crash-new-photo-1.png?fit=300,169&quality=85&strip=all A person was ejected from a vehicle during a crash involving two trucks and an SUV on I-78 in Berks County, Pennsylvania, Monday morning, state police said.

Police said a tractor trailer was traveling westbound within a work zone at mile marker 31 on I-78 in Hamburg Borough shortly before 8:30 a.m. when it struck the center concrete barrier, pushing several sections of the barrier into the oncoming lane of travel.

A 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe and another tractor trailer traveling eastbound on I-78 both struck the damaged concrete barrier. The impact caused the SUV to roll over and land on its roof within the westbound lanes of the highway and one of the two passengers inside the vehicle was ejected, investigators said.

The victim was taken to the hospital and is being treated for serious injuries.

Three people — a 62-year-old male driver, 19-year-old male passenger, and 18-year-old female passenger — were inside the SUV at the time of the crash. All three are from Fleming Island, Florida, investigators said. State police did not specify which passenger was ejected during the crash.

Police also said a 28-year-old man from Herndon, Pennsylvania, was driving one of the trucks involved in the crash, a 2000 Peterbilt 379, while a 42-year-old man from Hidalgo, Texas, was driving the second truck, a 2018 Freightliner Cascadia.

Police have not yet revealed if anyone else involved in the crash suffered serious injuries.

I-78 was closed in both directions at the scene of the crash for several hours. It later reopened.

Man admits to stealing nearly $20K in federal benefits meant for his missing girlfriend's disabled son https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/man-admits-to-stealing-nearly-20k-in-federal-benefits-meant-for-his-missing-girlfriends-disabled-son/3900840/ 3900840 post 4548375 Getty Images https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2019/09/generic-handcuffs-2.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 A man has pleaded guilty for committing wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in Essex County, New Jersey.

Asmar Earp, 37, admitted to his role in embezzling federal benefits meant for the disabled child of his former girlfriend shortly after she went missing in 2017, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey.

Earp was in a romantic relationship with a woman identified as V.W. and shared a house with her when she started receiving monthly payments administered by the Social Security Administration for her disabled son who was a minor. V.W. was the one who received the payments since her son was determined not capable of managing the SSI benefits on his own.

On or around December 24, 2017, V.W. went missing and six days later Earp fraudulently gained control of V.W.’s son’s benefits by changing the PIN code on the debit card used to access those funds, officials said.

In March and April 2018, Earp also fraudulently used V.W.’s name, date of birth, and social security number to receive replacement debit cards to continue accessing and using V.W.’s son’s benefits.

“From December 2017 through February 2020, Earp and others acting at his direction repeatedly and fraudulently took the money intended to help V.W.’s son and used it on themselves,” the attorney’s office said in a statement.

According to the indictment, Earp and others under his direction, used the debit cards to withdraw the SSI payments in New Jersey and Ohio during the timeframe the attorney’s office mentioned.

In total, Earp caused the SSA to pay him approximately $19,797 in SSI payments that were payable to V.W. as her son’s representative and intended exclusively for his benefit.

Earp was charged with two counts of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.

Each count of wire fraud carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000, or twice the gross loss to the victim or gain of the defendant, whichever is greatest.

The count of aggravated identity theft carries a statutory mandatory penalty of two years in prison, which runs consecutively to any other term of imprisonment, and a fine of $250,000, or twice the gross loss to the victim or gain of the defendant, whichever is greatest.

V.W.’s whereabouts remain unknown as of February 2023.

Officials did not state whose care V.W.’s son has been in since she went missing.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Throwing shade: PPA begins ticketing for illegally tinted windows https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/throwing-shade-ppa-begins-ticketing-for-illegally-tinted-windows/3900409/ 3900409 post 9658176 NBC10 https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/32628595740-1080pnbcstations.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 Drivers who have window tint that’s darker than the state allows can now face fines of up to $100 as Philadelphia Parking Authority officials have begun ticketing vehicles will illegal sun-screening.

Starting Monday, July 1, a new ordinance signed by Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker goes into effect that allows the PPA to ticket vehicles that are parked in the city that have tinting that is darker than state guidelines permit.

State law requires vehicle windows to permit 70% of light contacting the window to pass through it.

In a statement on the new efforts, City Councilmember Mike Driscoll (D-6th dist.), who authored the legislation, said tinting that is installed in a vehicle by a manufacturer typically complies with state regulations.

However, he noted, tinting done by independent installers may not.

“While many who have had their windows tinted are law abiding citizens and have done so without any ill intent, we know that others have installed illegal tinting for the express purpose to avoid identification while committing crimes or engaging in inherently dangerous activities such as illegal street racing and drifting,” Driscoll said in a statement. “As city officials, we will not tolerate activities that endanger those who live and work here.”

The ordinance went into effect on Monday and those who violate the new law will face a $100 fine.

Police ID 2 suspects in mass shooting that injured 7 in North Philly https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/police-id-2-suspects-in-mass-shooting-that-injured-7-in-north-philly/3900519/ 3900519 post 9659054 Philadelphia Police https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/Bambrey-Street-suspects.png?fit=300,169&quality=85&strip=all Police identified two more suspects in a mass shooting that left seven people injured in North Philadelphia last month.

Khalif Duren, 23, and Amirah Square, 20, are both wanted on attempted murder and aggravated assault by handgun charges in connection to the shooting.

Duren stands 5-foot-6 and weighs 195 pounds while Square stands 5-foot-3 and weighing between 110 and 115 pounds, police said.

If you see either suspect, do not approach them. Instead, call 911 immediately. You can also send a tip by calling or texting 215-686-TIPS (8477).

The shooting occurred on June 19, shortly after 6:20 p.m. Philadelphia police officers were called to the 2800 block of North Bambrey Street for multiple people shot, investigators said.

When officers arrived, they found two women suffering from gunshot wounds to the leg, police said.

Around that same time three other people — a woman and two men — showed up to the hospital by private vehicles, police said.

The three women who were shot are 46, 29 and 34, police said. The two men who were shot are 23 and 19.

A sixth victim — a 16-year-old girl — at the scene approached officers and said she believed she was struck by a bullet, police said. She was transported to the hospital with a graze wound to her stomach.

A seventh victim, an 18-year-old woman, showed up to the hospital by private vehicle with a gunshot wound to the lower back.

There are additional resources for people or communities that have endured gun violence in Philadelphia. Further information can be found here.

All of the victims were listed in stable condition except for the 19-year-old man who was shot in the back. He was listed in critical condition, police said.

Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said all the victims were standing on the sidewalk when a dark-colored four-door sedan pulled up, going eastbound on Somerset Street, and possibly three men got out, investigators said. That was when more than 20 shots were fired into a crowd. The shooters then got back into the waiting car and drove off.

“We believe they shot into this crowd intentionally and that someone may have been the intended target,” Small said. “Very possible that several others or most of them were not the intended target, they were struck by stray gunfire.”

Most of the victims live along North Bambrey Street, Small said.

Real-time crime cameras and private cameras in the area did captured the incident, investigators said. The video shows the gunmen walking down the street before opening fire and then running off.

The three suspects were last seen getting back into the vehicle and going eastbound on Somerset Street, according to police. Investigators said two of the suspects were wearing all black clothing while the third suspect was wearing all white clothing.

Police described the suspects’ vehicle as a 2004-2008 charcoal gray Acura TSX with an unknown Pennsylvania tag, missing front grille, damage to the rear trunk with a yellow tie down strap securing the trunk and numerous decals in the rear window.

Surveillance images of the suspects’ vehicle

On Thursday, June 20, a law enforcement source confirmed with NBC10 that police found the vehicle. Police also spoke with a person associated with the vehicle though that person has not been charged, the source said.

Photo of the vehicle police believe was involved in the mass shooting.

Then, on Friday, June 21, a spokesperson with the Philadelphia Police Department announced the arrest of a suspect in the shooting, 23-year-old Tyheed Harvey, 23.

“This senseless blatant disregard for life has no place in our city,” said Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel. “The swift response and diligent work of our officers and Shooting Investigations Group Detectives have led to a significant arrest with more to come. I am both proud and thankful of the men and women of our department for the work they do each and every day.  We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure justice for the victims and safety for all residents of Philadelphia.”

Harvey has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy and related offenses, police said.

Children continue to be struck by gunfire in Philadelphia. So far, minors have made up around 13% of the nearly 540 shootings in the city this year, according to data from the City Controller’s Office.

Woman killed by stray bullet as gunman shoots at teen girls in Kensington, police say https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/kensington-philadelphia-deadly-shooting-stray-bullet-woman-home/3900673/ 3900673 post 9659457 TELEMUNDO 62 https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/crystal-street-shooting.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 A woman was shot and killed by a stray bullet inside her home after a fight between teen girls led to a shooting in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood, police said.

The ordeal began shortly before 1:15 p.m. on Friday, June 28, along the 3400 block of Tampa Street. Investigators said a group of teen girls were fighting in the area. A white vehicle then arrived at the scene and a gunman exited the driver’s side door, police said. As several people fled, the gunman shot at them, chased the group and then fired another shot on the 600 block of E. Ontario Street, according to investigators.

A woman, later identified as 59-year-old Gladys Rivera-Perez, was sitting on her porch at her home along the 3400 block of Crystal Street and heard the gunshots. She then went inside her home and was followed by the people who were fleeing the gunman, according to investigators.

There are additional resources for people or communities that have endured gun violence in Philadelphia. Further information can be found here.

The gunman then fired two shots into the home. A bullet struck Rivera-Perez in her back and exited through her chest and shoulder area as she tried to get to the second floor, police said. She was taken by a private vehicle to St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children where she was pronounced dead at 1:44 p.m. that day.

Responding officers received information that the gunman’s vehicle was traced to an address on the 1300 block of St. Vincent Street. A barricade situation was declared and police found the owner of the vehicle inside the home. The owner was taken in by police for questioning but later released pending further investigation.

Police described the suspect in the shooting as a 39-year-old Hispanic man with a stocky build, long beard, red shirt and dark-colored baseball cap.

If you have any information on the suspect’s identity or whereabouts, please call Philadelphia police at 215-686-TIPS (8477).

As of Sunday night, there were 130 reported homicides in Philadelphia, down 38 percent from the same time last year, according to police data.

Philadelphia police recently increased their patrols in Kensington as part of the city’s plan to clean up the neighborhood. Only days after phase 2 of the plan began, a Philadelphia police officer was shot during a traffic stop in Kensington. He remains in critical condition.

‘Free our bags': Waiting hours for luggage to arrive at Philadelphia International Airport https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/transportation-and-transit/philadelphia-international-airport-baggage/3900150/ 3900150 post 9658017 NBC10 https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/32626566311-1080pnbcstations.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 For the second week in a row, travelers spent hours waiting on bags, or on planes, after severe weather caused a mess at Philadelphia International Airport.

Léelo en español aquí.

NBC10 started getting multiple calls and emails from people Sunday night saying they were stuck on a plane or stuck in baggage claim waiting for their luggage to arrive. 

Hundreds of flights were delayed at PHL Sunday and more than 150 flights were canceled. Many people told us they were told weather was to blame.

The delays meant some flight crews timed out — meaning they couldn’t work any more hours because of federal regulations. 

Passengers told us they were stuck sitting on a plane on the tarmac for hours — with no food, water or immediate answers. 

However, the big issue with a lot of travelers was that when they finally got off their planes their luggage didn’t get off with them. 

“We still have not gotten our bags yet,” a frustrated passenger said Sunday night. “No one is coming to talk to us, we haven’t heard anything about what’s going on with our luggage. And it’s horrible. You hear them chanting, they’s like ‘free our bags!’ Why won’t they let us know where are our bags?”

As of early Monday morning, dozens of bags were lined up in baggage claim, many people with final destinations in Philadelphia having left them behind rather than continuing to wait. There were also dozens of carts of bags taken off canceled flights that would need to be claimed.

While most if not all airlines dealt with weather cancellations and delays, most of the people with the baggage confusion we talked to flew on American Airlines, which operates around 60% of PHL flights. 

Later on Monday, American Airlines said that a four hour ramp closure due to lightning caused delays. Airline employees worked to assist customers and get crews into place.

SEPTA begins crackdown on quality of life crimes https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/septa-begins-crackdown-quality-of-life-crimes/3900244/ 3900244 post 9658155 NBC10 https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/32628483382-1080pnbcstations.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 The days of drinking a 40 oz. on the Broad Street Line on the way to a Phillies game may be over as — starting Monday — SEPTA’s transit officers are set to begin ticketing riders for quality-of-life crime violations.

The move is focused on improving safety and cleanliness throughout the mass transit system and will allow officers to write ticket for violations of quality-of-life crimes, which would include consuming alcohol on SEPTA properties, public urination, smoking, littering and other offenses.

Fines will range from $25 to $150 and, officials have said, the effort is expected to push back on issues of disorderly conduct and, officials said they hope to crackdown on repeat offenders and improve the overall customer experience on SEPTA properties.

The enforcement begins Monday, July 1, 2024.

Léelo en español aquí

“The shift to Code Violation Notices demonstrates our commitment to stepping up enforcement of quality-of-life offenses,” SEPTA CEO and General Manager Leslie Richards said in a statement on the new ticketing effort. “These violations are often the subject of customer complaints and can be associated with more serious crimes. Our customers and employees deserve to feel safe when they are traveling on SEPTA.”

Under this policy, Transit Police will issue a ticket to the offender and forward a copy of the ticket to the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Administrative Review. Riders who receive tickets will be given the option of paying the fine or requesting a court date in order to dispute the ticket.

The Office of Administrative Review, officials said, will be in charge of tracking unpaid fines and chronic offenders will be banned from being on any SEPTA property.

In a statement on the new practice, SEPTA Transit Police Chief Charles Lawson noted that that it would be a step up over the Administrative Enforcement Notices that officers has been issuing since 2019, as these tickets would be court-enforced. .

“Code Violation Notices are legal instruments backed by the courts,” said SEPTA Transit Police Chief Charles Lawson. “With this change, SEPTA is sending a clear message to would-be offenders: If you commit an offense on SEPTA property, you will be held accountable.”

Officials said SEPTA Police will continue to increase visible patrols at stations as well as hire more officers.

Also, recently, SEPTA received a special prosecutor for crimes that occur on any SEPTA property. A Pennsylvania court rejected Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s lawsuit against Act 40, a law establishing a special prosecutor to handle crimes on SEPTA property.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry also announced that attorney Michael Untermeyer was named as the special prosecutor.

Philly renews Verizon contract, plans to bring internet to 183 rec. centers https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/philly-renews-verizon-contract-plans-internet-183-rec-centers/3900634/ 3900634 post 9659596 Philadelphia Mayor's Office https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/Parker-verizon-7-1-24.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 Rec. centers throughout the city will soon be a little more connected as Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle L. Parker has announced that the city has renewed a contract with Verizon that includes an agreement to bring internet access to 183 rec. centers, and 261 other city-owned properties.

“This historic agreement is the result of negotiations, collaboration and hard work in the Parker Administration – and the previous Kenney Administration,” said Parker, in a statement on the renewal. “We have listened to the voices of our residents, consulted with our experts, and crafted a plan that we believe reflects our collective needs as a city. We are proud to provide broadband access at the speed of light for our residents who use our recreation centers.”

The agreement, which was set to expire next month, was originally inked in 2009 to provide cable and internet services to the city. Now, city officials said, the contract has been renewed for five-years and it will help bring internet connectivity to rec. centers and other properties to help ensure “they remain vibrant hubs of activity and provide digital inclusion for generations to come.”

Officials said that the terms of the franchise agreement are:

  • Verizon will continue to pay the City the maximum franchise fees permitted by federal law (five percent of gross revenues).
  • Verizon will provide $8 million over the five-year life of the agreement in grant funding to support Public, Education, and Government grants (PEG Grants) to Internet access providers. This includes PhillyCAM, the School District of Philadelphia and Channel 64.
  • Verizon will also provide a grant of $500,000 for technology initiatives associated with its use of ‘dark fiber’ – another technological innovation for the City.
  • Verizon will provide broadband internet access to 183 City-owned recreation centers within two years, and up to 261 additional City-owned properties at the City’s choosing.

“Our rec centers have to stay current with modern technology in order to engage communities and equip young people with the resources they need,” said Susan Slawson, commissioner of the city’s Parks and Recreation Department, in a statement. “The renewal of the Verizon franchise agreement is going to be transformative for 183 of our rec centers and the neighborhoods they serve.”

A ‘hello' to arms: Stolen musket returned, joins collection at the Museum of the American Revolution https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/hello-to-arms-stolen-musket-returned-museum-american-revolution/3900490/ 3900490 post 9659209 NBC10 https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/musket-7-1-24.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 “Hello my friend.”

That’s what Scott Stephenson, the president and CEO of Philadelphia’s Museum of the American Revolution, whispered as a rare musket was brought into his view on Monday morning.

His remark was made during an event to celebrate the return of a Revolutionary War musket that was stolen nearly 60 years ago and will now be put on display for the public to see at the Museum of the American Revolution.

“I’m incredibly excited and honored to be receiving this firearm, which was stolen from our predecessor, the Valley Forge historical Society, in 1968,” he said.

In fact, Stephenson said that he remembers, as a boy, reading about the American Revolution and seeing photos of this exact firearm in his youth.

As retold by Stephenson, the musket — which he said was not the work of one manufacturer, but was instead an “amalgamation of parts” put together by a Revolutionary War soldier — was stolen from the Valley Forge Historical Society in 1968.

“They were cobbling together what they can to get ready for this military conflict,” Stephenson explained. “This was a very effective, modern military technology circa 1774.”

The gun was stolen along with more than 30 other items from the Valley Forge Historical Society — the predecessor of the Museum of the American Revolution — and was sought for nearly 60 years, until a moment of serendipity brought it back into the hands of local officials.

“The assumption was that these things were long gone, never to be seen again,” said Stephenson.

However, recently the FBI and local law enforcement officials released a list of items important to American history that were sought in cold case robberies.

That list made its way into the hands of Joel Bohy, an appraiser on PBS’ Antiques Roadshow for arms and military items.

He remembered seeing a firearm like one described in the list at an antique gun show just a few weeks before he saw the list of items that were still being sought.

“The first gun on the list turned out to be this gun,” Bohy said.

Stephenson said that the owner seemed happy to return the item.

“The owner, who had purchased it in the 1960s, probably shortly after the theft, turned it over. He said ‘oh my gosh, I had no idea’,” Stephenson said. “So, it was just amazing how it all came together.”

Chubb, an insurance group, paid a claim on the firearm after the burglary. And, once the weapon was recovered, the company gifted it to the museum.

For Upper Merion Township Police Department Detective Brendan Dougherty, the effort was the culmination of 15 years of work. He said that his office reopened the case on the 1968 thefts from the Valley Forge Historical Society back in 2009 and they have been trying to recover items lost in that case ever since.

“This was something stolen from Montgomery County. It was something stolen locally,” Dougherty said. “So, it’s really, really special that something stolen from Valley Forge 56 years ago is back at home for us all to look at.”

And now, just in time for Independence Day, the firearm will be placed on display at the Museum of the American Revolution.

Supreme Court rules Trump immune for official acts, not immune for unofficial ones https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/national-international/supreme-court-rules-trump-presidential-immunity-case/3900373/ 3900373 post 9540874 AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/05/AP24116453104478.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 The Supreme Court rejected former President Donald Trump’s claim of absolute immunity from prosecution, ruling that while a former president is immune from prosecution for their official acts, they are not immune from unofficial acts.

Monday’s historic 6-3 ruling doesn’t answer the question of what is an official or unofficial act. Instead, the court kicks the question back to the lower courts to figure out precisely how to apply the decision to Trump’s case.

Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts writes that “Trump asserts a far broader immunity than the limited one we have recognized.”

Roberts was joined by the other five conservative justices. The three liberal justices dissented.

“Today’s decision to grant former presidents criminal immunity reshapes the institution of the presidency. It makes a mockery of the principle, foundational to our Constitution and system of government, that no man is above the law,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a scathing dissent.

Sotomayor, who read a summary of her dissent aloud in the courtroom, said the protection afforded presidents by the court “is just as bad as it sounds, and it is baseless.”

The outcome means additional delay before Trump could face trial in the case brought by special counsel Jack Smith, all but ending prospects the former president could be tried before the November election.

If Trump’s Washington trial does not take place before the 2024 election and he is not given another four years in the White House, he presumably would stand trial soon thereafter.

But if he wins, he could appoint an attorney general who would seek the dismissal of this case and the other federal prosecution he faces. He could also attempt to pardon himself if he reclaims the White House. 

The case stems from Trump’s attempts to have charges against him dismissed. Lower courts have found he cannot claim immunity for actions that, prosecutors say, illegally sought to interfere with the election results.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has been charged in federal court in Washington with conspiring to overturn the 2020 election, one of three criminal cases he is still facing. Earlier this month, Trump was convicted in New York of 34 counts of falsifying business records arising from what prosecutors said was an attempt to cover up a hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 presidential election.

During oral arguments earlier this year, a majority of the justices did not appear to embrace the claim of absolute immunity that would stop special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of Trump on charges he conspired to overturn his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden. However, several of the conservative justices indicated they could limit when former presidents might be prosecuted, suggesting that the case could be sent back to lower courts before any trial could begin.

Trump supporters, critics respond to immunity case ruling outside Supreme Court

Trump lawyer D. John Sauer argued that former presidents are entitled to absolute immunity for their official acts. Otherwise, he said, politically motivated prosecutions of former occupants of the Oval Office would become routine and presidents couldn’t function as the commander in chief if they had to worry about criminal charges.

Lower courts have rejected those arguments, including a unanimous three-judge panel on an appeals court in Washington, D.C.

Several justices drilled down on trying to come up with a definition of what constituted an official act, and whether charges based on one should be thrown out.

Justice Elena Kagan at one pointed wondered whether a former president could escape prosecution even if he ordered a coup or sold nuclear secrets. Sauer said prosecutions might not be allowed if those were determined to be official acts.

Roberts conjured up a president being indicted for receiving a bribe in exchange for an ambassadorial appointment.

How could the indictment go forward if prosecutors had to remove the official act, the appointment? “That’s like a one-legged stool, right?” Roberts asked.

Smith’s team says the men who wrote Constitution never intended for presidents to be above the law and that, in any event, the acts Trump is charged with — including participating in a scheme to enlist fake electors in battleground states won by Biden — aren’t in any way part of a president’s official duties.

Nearly four years ago, all nine justices rejected Trump’s claim of absolute immunity from a district attorney’s subpoena for his financial records. That case played out during Trump’s presidency and involved a criminal investigation, but no charges.

Among the controversies surrounding the case is the presence of Justice Clarence Thomas who has ignored calls to step aside from the case because his wife, Ginni Thomas, urged the reversal of the 2020 election results and then attended the rally that preceded the Capitol riot.

Justice Samuel Alito said there was no reason for him to step aside from the cases following reports by The New York Times that flags similar to those carried by the Jan. 6 rioters flew above his homes in Virginia and on the New Jersey shore. His wife, Martha-Ann Alito, was responsible for flying both the inverted American flag in January 2021 and the “Appeal to Heaven” banner in the summer of 2023, he said in letters to Democratic lawmakers responding to their recusal demands.

Sixers get their 3rd star as Paul George agrees to sign 4-year deal https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/sports/nba/philadelphia-76ers/sixers-paul-george-agrees-sign-4-year-max-deal/3899513/ 3899513 post 9656272 Dylan Buell/Getty Images https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/06/Paul-George-Getty-Images-1-e1719808852231.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 The Sixers sure did not strike out in their pursuit of a third star.

After declining his Clippers player option, Paul George has agreed to sign a four-year, $212 million contract with the Sixers, a source confirmed to NBC Sports Philadelphia early Monday morning.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski first reported the news.

George is a native of Palmdale, California, and played the past five seasons in Los Angeles. However, he’s set to join the Eastern Conference for the first time since his final Pacers season in 2016-17. 

The Clippers reportedly remained unwilling to offer the four-year contract George wanted. The team released a statement Sunday night acknowledging there was a “significant” gap between the sides in negotiations. That left the door open for the Sixers and president of basketball operations Daryl Morey, who intentionally entered this offseason with close to zero roster certainty and sizable cap space.

Last season, George made his ninth career All-Star Game. Joel Embiid reached his seventh and Most Improved Player Tyrese Maxey earned his first selection.

“I would say the biggest need is not at (Embiid or Maxey’s) position — someone at the wing who can play and deliver at a high level in the playoffs,” Morey said in May at his end-of-season press conference. 

Health permitting, the Sixers will be optimistic about George’s specific skills coming to Philadelphia. He averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game last year, and he shot 41.3 percent from 3-point range on 7.9 attempts per game. George has proven capable of meshing alongside fellow stars, playing a larger role when injuries arise, and effectively defending top wings and forwards.

Like the Sixers, George’s 2023-24 season ended with a first-round playoff exit. He’s never been to the NBA Finals and the Sixers haven’t been past the second round of the playoffs since 2001.

Now, both parties will hope George’s dramatic move East results in a big breakthrough. 

The Sixers have also agreed to re-sign Kelly Oubre Jr. and to add Andre Drummond and Eric Gordon. As they build around the new trio of Embiid, Maxey and George, there’s plenty more free-agent action on deck.

Overturned dump truck closes I-476 ramp to I-95 for rush hour https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/overturned-dump-truck-closes-i-476-ramp-southbound-i-95/3900226/ 3900226 post 9658204 NBC10 https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/i-95-dump-truck-7-1-24.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 Update: As of about 11:30 a.m., this incident has been cleared and the roadway has reopened to traffic.

Drivers were being diverted during Monday’s rush hour along I-476 southbound on the ramp to I-95 southbound after an overturned dump truck there caused all lanes of traffic to be closed.

According to the Pennsylvania State Police, cleanup is expected to take several hours after a dump truck overturned at about 6:05 a.m. on the southbound ramp in Woodlyn between the two thoroughfares and spilled cargo across the roadway.

As of about 7:45 a.m. traffic was being diverted to northbound I-95 and, officials said, tow trucks were on the scene working to clear the wreck.

However, officials said, the clean up effort is expected to take between one to three hours.

No injuries have been reported in this incident.

At about 11:30 a.m., Pennsylvania State Police officials announced that the roadway had been reopened after the truck was cleared and all debris had been removed.

This is a breaking news story. It will be updated as new information becomes available.

Maxey agrees to richly earned max extension with Sixers https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/sports/nba/philadelphia-76ers/tyrese-maxey-max-contract-nba-free-agency-2024/3888582/ 3888582 post 9624147 Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/06/Tyrese-Maxey-Sixers-Getty-Images-2.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,169 Tyrese Maxey is set to sign a max contract.

The Sixers have agreed in principle to a new five-year, approximately $204 million deal with the All-Star guard that’s expected to be finalized in the days ahead, a source confirmed to NBC Sports Philadelphia. It’ll be a richly earned pay raise for a player who made approximately $4.3 million last year in the final season of his rookie contract. 

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski first reported the news and noted the contract is fully guaranteed with no options.

Maxey was named the NBA’s Most Improved Player for the 2023-24 season after averaging 25.9 points, 6.2 assists and 3.7 rebounds. He’s still only 23 years old and the Sixers believe he’s capable of continued growth. 

“We should all learn not to bet against Tyrese, given that he’s beat expectations every single season,” Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey said at his end-of-season press conference.

Sixers head coach Nick Nurse thinks Maxey can keep improving in several areas, including defensively. 

“I think a lot of it is just convincing them how good they can be at it. He’s got amazing physical skills, right? He’s so fast and so quick that he should be able to bother people,” Nurse told NBC Sports Philadelphia in April. “He’s a lot stronger than people think he is, too. So he can fight through screens, get over screens, block people out and all those things. 

“I just think he’s got all the tools to do it, and we’ve got to just keep chipping away at it. Let’s make that a part of who he is — a two-way player.”

Assistant coach Rico Hines told NBC Sports Philadelphia that he thinks Maxey “has a chance to be a Hall of Famer.” 

“He’s unique, man,” Hines said. “He’s a budding star. He has an infectious personality. He never has a bad day and he lights up a room when he’s in there with his infectious energy, contagious energy, good energy. … I just think he’s growing and growing and growing.”

Happy fare hike Monday. Here's how much more it'll cost you to ride NJ Transit https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/national-international/nj-transit-fare-hike-today/3900319/ 3900319 post 9653023 Getty Images https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/06/GettyImages-2157684309-1.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,200 Not to pile on your Monday, but …

NJ Transit, which has been reeling from a series of service suspensions and delays between New York and New Jersey, implemented its first fare hike in nearly a decade on Monday.

In April, the transit agency’s board of directors unanimously approved the 15% fare increase for bus, train and light rail riders to take effect July 1, 2024. There will be a 3% annual increase indefinitely starting July 1, 2025.

Here’s an example of what we’re looking at:

Travel ModeOld One-Way FareNew One-Way Fare
Bus (One-Zone Local)$1.60$1.80
Bus (Intestate to NY)
– Jersey City to PABT
-Toms River to PABT

$3.50
$21.25

$4.00
$24.00
Access Link Base Fare (*based on comparable bus fees)$1.45$1.65
Newark Light Rail$1.60$1.80
HBLR$2.25$2.55
Rail
-Philadelphia to Pennsauken
– Princeton JCT to PSNY

$4.25
$16.00

$4.85
$18.40

NJ Transit’s neighborly reminder of the imminent fare increase was met with exactly what you’d expect.

It’s been an awful month for NJ Transit in terms of service to and from New York’s Penn Station. Service was suspended on at least five occasions in June, mainly during rush hour and largely because of issues related to Amtrak’s overhead wires.

Both transit agencies said last week they’d work together to accelerate investigations into the suspensions and shore up equipment.

NJ Transit’s hike, which was initially proposed in late January, comes after the agency’s preliminary estimates for Fiscal Year 2025 found a budget deficit of $119 million. The new prices hope to help close that budget gap.

Officials have known for a few years that they would run into this fiscal dead end. Even though NJ Transit ridership has reached about 80% of its pre-COVID levels, the agency is entering its fifth consecutive year of ridership below pre-pandemic levels. This low ridership has resulted in the loss of nearly $2 billion in fares, according to NJ Transit.

Despite NJ Transit using federal COVID relief funds over a few years to offset the loss, the funding will be exhausted in Fiscal Year 2025, the agency said.

Critics blasted the state for not acting sooner to prevent passing on the cost to riders.

Joan Specter – former Philly City Council member, widow of Arlen Specter – dies at 90 https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/politics/joan-specter-death-90/3900202/ 3900202 post 9658150 William Thomas Cain/Getty Image https://media.nbcphiladelphia.com/2024/07/GettyImages-99830886.jpg?quality=85&strip=all&fit=300,213 Joan Levy Specter, the renowned culinary expert-turned Philadelphia councilperson who was married to longtime U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, has died at 90.

Specter died Saturday, June 29, 2024, due to complications of dementia at her Haverford, Pennsylvania, home, according to her obituary.

In mourning Specter’s death, Philadelphia Council President Kenyatta Johnson recalled her as a “former city council member, advocate for the arts, and human rights champion.”

“I remember my aunt sharing with me the work of Councilmember Specter when I was fresh out of college,” Johnson wrote. “She spoke of how she was a woman of the people and how she helped thousands of people through constituent services but especially those in need.

“Married to the late Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Arlen Specter, Joan Specter’s legacy was cemented as a renowned culinary expert, entrepreneur, and dedicated public servant.”

Specter moved from food to politics in 1979, winning election to City Council as a Republican at-large. She served council from 1980 to 1996.

“She championed non-partisan issues such as daycare, housing, child nutrition, and anti-discrimination,” Johnson wrote. “Her efforts led to significant legislation, including divestment from companies operating in apartheid-era South Africa, among others. Joan was also instrumental in promoting public art in Philadelphia.”

After leaving office, Specter continued to serve on boards, including the Hazel K. Goddess Fund for Stroke Research and the Children’s Literacy Initiative, according to her obituary.

Specter grew up in Philadelphia and was a alum of Olney High School, Southern Connecticut University and Drexel University.

Joan and Arlen Specter were married from 1953 until his death in 2012. The couple had two children Shanin, a Philadelphia-based attorney, and Steve, a California-based psychiatrist.

Specter’s funeral is set for Tuesday, July 2 at Har Zion Temple in Penn Valley, according to her obituary.
