Delco Men Accused Of Flipping Car Before Super Bowl Charged

PHILADELPHIA — Two men from Delaware County have reportedly surrendered to Philadelphia Police in connection with the overturning of a car on Super Bowl Sunday.

Nicholas Faraglia, 21, of Clifton Heights, and Edward Pearce, 23, of Aldan, are both facing charges of criminal mischief, riot, recklessly endangering another person, disorderly conduct, and related offenses.

The two are accused of flipping a vehicle Sunday with seven others.

Both were released on their own recognizance and are scheduled for preliminary hearings on March 3, court records show.

According to police, the incident occurred at about 4:20 p.m. on the 1700 block of Arlington Street. A large crowd gathered on that block ahead of the game, police said. An unoccupied, legally parked vehicle was flipped, police said.

Here is video from the scene:

Police said the vehicle's windows were broken and its license plate was missing. No one was hurt in the incident.

Residents on Arlington Street have since rallied behind the victim of Sunday's vandalism. Organizers of a GoFundMe campaign to aid the victim said he is handicapped and has lived on the block since 1995.

"This is completely unacceptable, organizers said. "As fellow members of this community, this is a violation that needs to be corrected."

So far, more than $14,000 has been raised to support the victim of the vandalism.

"There is no excuse for these actions committed especially for unsuspecting individuals that live in the community," the GoFundMe page reads. "Please help Rick and show support for our North Philadelphia residents!"
