• Bristol Township Enlists Collection Agency to Recover Overdue Red-Light Camera Fines (lowerbuckstimes.com) — Bristol Township is turning overdue red-light camera tickets over to a collection agency, adding a $35 fee for drivers who ignore the initial $100 fine. Eight cameras at four busy Route 13 and Route 413 intersections are projected to generate enough revenue to cover nearly $580,000 in annual operating costs, with remaining funds supporting transportation grants while officials emphasize crash reduction and safety. 
• Post-Breakup Harassment & Phone Smashing Leads To Arrest (levittownnow.com) — Bristol Township police charged a 20-year-old township man after an alleged pattern of harassment toward his ex-girlfriend, including smashing her phone and damaging her scooter during a meeting about their breakup. Officers say the woman later reported threatening calls and repeated drive-bys in a BMW near her Levittown neighborhood before the man was arrested and released on bail.
