• Upper Darby man held for stripping, touching himself in front of minors (delcotimes.com) — A disturbing criminal case involving a 69-year-old Upper Darby man is moving forward to formal arraignment in Media on June 17, after two local girls testified about an alleged indecent incident in their home. While this happened next door in Upper Darby, it’s the kind of case Darby families watch closely, as it involves a roomer living with a family and raises concerns about children’s safety around trusted adults. 
• Upper Darby's track teams finish winning seasons at PIAA Class 3A Track & Field Championships (myspiritnews.com) — Upper Darby High School’s boys’ and girls’ track teams capped standout seasons with multiple medals at the PIAA Class 3A championships, just up the road from Darby.
