Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Former acting U.S. attorney accused of illegal contact with minor (thetimes-tribune.com) — A 75-year-old Lewisburg resident and former acting U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania has been jailed on felony charges alleging unlawful contact with a minor and related offenses. Investigators say he exchanged explicit images with a 14-year-old girl via social media and text, and he is being held on $150,000 bail while electronic evidence is examined.
2. Flickinger lifts Mifflinburg past Selinsgrove in OT (centredaily.com) — Mifflinburg's field hockey team edged Selinsgrove 1-0 in overtime, but the matchup that may matter more locally comes next as Selinsgrove hosts Lewisburg in a league crossover. With Lewisburg heading on the road, local fans can watch how the team responds against a strong defense that just held Mifflinburg scoreless in regulation.
3. Judge rules in favor of ICE detainee held in Pa. federal prison in a civil matter (pennlive.com) — An immigration detainee held at the federal prison in Lewisburg has won a key ruling from a federal judge, who ordered either a bond hearing or his release by early October. The judge found that the man's lengthy civil detention in prison-like conditions likely violates due process, and directed the government to justify any continued confinement in court.
4. Sunbury attorney accused of 63-year-old rape to fight charges (alliednews.com) — A decades-old rape case involving a longtime Sunbury attorney is now before Lewisburg District Judge Jeff Rowe, with the defense planning to seek dismissal before a November hearing. The 77-year-old defendant, who maintains his innocence, faces a felony charge tied to alleged conduct from 1963, while the judge has imposed $150,000 unsecured bail and barred any contact with the accuser.
