• Ridley Park man charged with taking photo, audio recording in court (delcotimes.com) — A recent court case in District Judge Mary Hopper’s Prospect Park courtroom has led to new charges against a Ridley Park man, after police say his phone contained a photo and audio recording from a January hearing.
