Delaware teens busted after armed scare at shopping center

by Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Local News Report

WILMINGTON, DE — Delaware State Police arrested two teenage boys on multiple felony charges following a Monday morning incident involving a weapon at the Miller Road Shopping Center.

The incident occurred around 11:00 a.m. on June 2, when troopers responded to a report of suspects chasing a group of teenagers with a firearm outside the Dollar Tree located at 3602 Miller Road.

Investigators say a group of teens walking toward the store was approached by two acquaintances, later identified as a 16-year-old and a 15-year-old, both from New Castle. The 16-year-old suspect allegedly pointed a black and silver firearm at the victims, who ran into the store for safety while the suspects pursued them briefly before fleeing behind the shopping center.

With assistance from Wilmington Police Department officers, troopers located the suspects nearby and took them into custody without incident. A search revealed a black and silver airsoft gun resembling a Glock handgun, and a kitchen knife found in the 15-year-old’s backpack.

Both teens were transported to Troop 1, where they were formally charged.

Suspects held on felony charges following altercation

The 16-year-old was charged with three counts of aggravated menacing, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, carrying a concealed deadly weapon, and second-degree conspiracy. He was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 11 and committed to New Castle County Detention Center on $36,000 cash bond.

At the station, the 15-year-old suspect became combative and refused to comply with commands, according to police. He was charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, carrying a concealed deadly weapon, second-degree conspiracy, and resisting arrest. He was also arraigned and held on $24,500 cash bond.

No injuries were reported, and the victims have not been publicly identified.

Lucky number 4-4-4-4 delivers massive haul for Virginia players

by Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Local News Report

RICHMOND, VA — Virginia Lottery players struck it big Tuesday night when the rare and popular combination 4-4-4-4 hit in the Pick 4 game, resulting in a massive $7.9 million payout.

The June 3 night drawing brought a windfall for thousands of players who collectively wagered $438,939 on the winning combination. The payout amounted to 18 times the revenue collected for that drawing, according to the Virginia Lottery.

Quadruple-digit numbers like 4-4-4-4 are among the most heavily played combinations in the Pick 4 game. A $1 exact-order ticket nets a $5,000 prize, making such drawings particularly lucrative when repeating digits hit.

Pick 4 drawings are conducted twice daily — at 1:59 p.m. and 11 p.m. — with odds of 1 in 10,000 to match all four numbers in the correct order.

Virginia Lottery officials did not release the number of winning tickets sold, but based on the payout figures, more than 1,500 players likely hit the jackpot with exact-order bets.

Lottery sees rare payout surge as players cash in

The surge in winnings came from more than 5,300 licensed retailers statewide and digital platforms like the Virginia Lottery app and website, which all offer access to the daily game.

While Pick 4 is a fixed-prize game, the volume of bets on certain combinations can lead to significant payout spikes when popular numbers hit.

The Virginia Lottery uses its proceeds to support public K-12 education. In Fiscal Year 2024, the Lottery contributed over $934 million to schools across the Commonwealth, comprising about 10 percent of the state’s K-12 education funding.

MANASSAS, VA — A 76-year-old woman was killed Tuesday night after being struck by an SUV while walking her dog along Hoadly Road in Prince William County, police said.

The incident occurred just before 10 p.m. near the intersection of Hoadly Road and Token Valley Road. Officers arrived on scene to find that Son Ae Willis of Manassas had been hit by a vehicle while attempting to cross the road.

Police said a 16-year-old boy was driving a westbound SUV when he struck Willis as she crossed Hoadly Road toward Classic Oaks Circle. There is no crosswalk at the location of the crash, investigators noted.

Willis died at the scene. Her dog was not injured. The teen driver was unhurt, according to the Prince William County Police Department.

Police ask witnesses to come forward

The investigation into the crash remains ongoing. No charges have been announced, and authorities have not said whether speed or visibility were factors.

Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact the Prince William County Police Department as they continue to collect information.

Guitars Recovered, Suspect Arrested After Theft from Band at New Jersey Heart Concert

by Breaking Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — A Pleasantville man has been arrested in connection with the theft of musical instruments belonging to members of the rock band Heart following a concert at Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena last week, police said.

According to the Atlantic City Police Department, officers responded to the Hard Rock Atlantic City on May 30 after receiving a report that a guitar and mandolin had been stolen from inside the venue. The instruments belonged to Heart band members, who were performing at the time.

An investigation by Sergeant Gary Holmes and Detective Lisa Kaplin-Caldwell led to surveillance video identifying the suspect as 57-year-old Garfield Bennett. Investigators tracked Bennett as he moved through parts of Atlantic City attempting to sell the stolen instruments.

Detective Kaplin-Caldwell filed criminal charges against Bennett on June 4. Later that day, Officers Alex Torres and Glen Robinson located and arrested him on the first block of South Kentucky Avenue.

Police said Bennett successfully sold one of the stolen instruments. The location of the second remains unknown. Authorities have urged anyone in possession of the items to voluntarily surrender them to avoid criminal charges.

Charges filed; investigation ongoing

Bennett has been charged with burglary and theft and was remanded to the Atlantic County Justice Facility. Hard Rock Atlantic City’s security team assisted detectives during the investigation.

“These charges are merely an accusation and not proof of guilt,” the department noted. “In all criminal cases, a charged defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.”

The Atlantic City Police Department is continuing to investigate and is asking anyone with information to contact the Criminal Investigations Section or submit a tip anonymously via text.

Road repairs and congestion bring morning traffic delays across New Jersey

by Breaking Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

TRENTON, N.J. — Traffic conditions across New Jersey remained congested Thursday, with lane closures from road repairs and volume-related backups affecting several major highways and river crossings.

As of early Thursday afternoon, roving roadwork was reported on U.S. Route 130 northbound in Burlington County, where the left lane was closed from Cooper Street (CR 630) in Willingboro Township through to north of Florence-Columbus Road (CR 656) in Mansfield Township. Similar repairs were underway on Route 35 northbound in Monmouth County, with one right lane closed between Eatontown and Keyport.

Earlier in the morning, traffic along I-295 northbound moved slowly between Exit 61 at Arena Drive in Hamilton Township and Exit 67 at U.S. Route 1 in Lawrence Township. Though all lanes were open, drivers encountered noticeable volume in that stretch.

Significant delays persisted on the New Jersey Turnpike, particularly on the northbound Western and Eastern Spurs. Around 8:20 a.m., traffic was backed up for approximately two miles between the Southern Mixing Bowl and just south of Interchange 15W (I-280) in Newark. The outer roadway near Interchange 13A, which serves Newark Liberty International Airport and U.S. 1&9 in Elizabeth, was also congested due to morning volume.

Eastbound traffic entering the Hudson County Extension at Interchange 14 (I-78) in Newark experienced additional delays tied to heavy flow through the corridor.

Congestion also extended to the Hudson River crossings. The George Washington Bridge lower level eastbound carried a 20-minute delay by 8:08 a.m., with all lanes open. The upper level was slower, with eastbound drivers facing a 25-minute travel time from I-95 at I-80 to the Alexander Hamilton Bridge.

Motorists across the state faced a mix of construction-related lane closures and typical weekday congestion as traffic volume remained steady into the afternoon.

Baltimore man wins $50K and heads straight to the mall

by Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Local News Report

BALTIMORE, MD — A Baltimore City resident is $50,000 richer after winning the top prize in the Maryland Lottery’s Bonus Match 5 drawing held May 31.

The winner, a program counselor, purchased the ticket at Jolly’s Food Mart on North Monroe Street while on the way home from picking up his wife from work. Along with a few other favorite games, he added several Bonus Match 5 tickets to his purchase.

It wasn’t until the following day that he scanned his tickets at a local gas station and saw a message instructing him to take one to the Lottery. After asking the cashier for clarification, he learned he had hit the game’s top prize.

Still in disbelief, the Baltimore man went about his day but splurged on a full car detailing service. “I just wanted my car right and I got the works,” he told Lottery officials.

He later returned home to safely store the winning ticket and shared the news with his wife.

Winner plans wardrobe upgrade and possible new car

The lucky player claimed his prize on Tuesday at Maryland Lottery headquarters and said he plans to use some of the money for a shopping spree to refresh his wardrobe. He’s also considering buying a new car for his wife and saving the rest of the winnings.

Jolly’s Food Mart, the store that sold the winning ticket, will receive a $500 bonus for the sale.

Two Pennsylvania Men Sentenced to Lengthy Prison Terms for Attempting to Solicit Sex with Minors

by Breaking Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. — Two Pennsylvania men were handed significant prison sentences last week for attempting to engage in sexual activities with minors, only to be apprehended by the Lancaster County Human Trafficking Task Force. The sentences, delivered on May 27, 2025, underscored the county’s firm stance against child predation, as emphasized by District Attorney Heather Adams.

In the first case, Bradley Andrew Buchanan, 40, of Birdsboro, Berks County, was sentenced by Judge Thomas Sponaugle to 28 to 57 years in state prison. A jury convicted Buchanan in October 2023 on multiple charges, including criminal attempt of statutory sexual assault, criminal solicitation, unlawful contact with a minor, patronizing a victim of human trafficking, and indecent assault of a person under 16. The charges stemmed from an incident in August 2022, when Buchanan responded to an online advertisement and agreed to pay for a half-hour sexual encounter with a 12-year-old girl at a Salisbury Township hotel. Upon arrival, he was arrested by task force officers.

Assistant District Attorney Fritz Haverstick, who prosecuted the case, described Buchanan as a “danger to children in this community,” citing a prior conviction for sexual contact with a 15-year-old. Haverstick urged a severe sentence, warning that Buchanan would likely reoffend if released. Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Amos Glick filed the charges.

In a separate but similar case, Leandro J. Alfaro, 33, of Lancaster city, received a sentence of four and a half to 14 years from Judge Margaret Miller after pleading guilty to criminal attempt of patronizing a victim of human trafficking, statutory sexual assault, and criminal use of a communication facility. Alfaro’s arrest followed his response to an online ad in July 2024, where he agreed to pay for sex with a 14-year-old girl at a Warwick Township hotel. Task force officers arrested him upon arrival after he confirmed his intent to pay for the encounter.

During sentencing, Judge Miller told Alfaro his “poor decision” could have caused “grievous injury and trauma” to a child. Speaking through an interpreter, Alfaro attributed his actions to being “drugged up” and apologized to his wife and daughters. Miller ordered the forfeiture of the money Alfaro brought for the encounter.

“These convictions are proof that preying on children and soliciting sex will not be tolerated in Lancaster County,” District Attorney Adams said, commending the Human Trafficking Task Force for their diligent efforts. Although sentenced on the same day, the cases were unrelated, with each defendant targeted through proactive sting operations by the task force.

Son of West Long Branch Mayor Admits to $4 Million in Real Estate Tax Fraud

by Breaking Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. — A Monmouth County man is facing a possible federal prison sentence after admitting to concealing his interest in multiple real estate properties in an effort to avoid paying over $4 million in tax debt.

According to court documents and statements made in court, Matthew Tucci filed tax returns for 2015 and 2016 showing he owed more than $2 million in each year. Despite acknowledging the debt, Tucci failed to fully pay the taxes owed and instead used his resources to purchase real estate.

Tucci is the son of West Long Branch Mayor Janet Tucci, a Republican.

After receiving notices from the Internal Revenue Service in 2017 regarding unpaid taxes, penalties, and interest, Tucci transferred several properties to an entity owned by another individual. Prosecutors said he continued to control at least two of those properties and later sold one and refinanced the other, using the proceeds for personal expenses instead of satisfying his tax obligations.

In 2019, Tucci submitted false documents to the IRS claiming he had no connection to the entity that owned 12 properties, despite evidence showing he maintained control over them.

Sentencing scheduled for October

Tucci is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 9. He faces a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison, as well as potential restitution, supervised release, and financial penalties.

The case was announced by Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney Karen E. Kelly of the Justice Department’s Tax Division and Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba for the District of New Jersey.

Second suspect in Florida fertility clinic bombing arrested at New York City airport

by Breaking Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

NEW YORK CITY — A Washington state man was arrested at a New York airport Monday night on federal charges alleging he provided material support to the suicide bomber who destroyed a fertility clinic in Palm Springs last month, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Daniel Jongyon Park, 32, of Kent, is accused of shipping and paying for over 270 pounds of ammonium nitrate, a common explosive precursor, to Guy Edward Bartkus, the man behind the deadly May 17 attack. Park was taken into custody after arriving at John F. Kennedy International Airport on a flight from Poland, where he had been detained since late May.

Park made his initial court appearance Tuesday in the Eastern District of New York. He is charged with providing and attempting to provide material support to terrorists.

“This defendant is charged with facilitating the horrific attack on a fertility center in California,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi in a statement. “We are grateful to our partners in Poland who helped get this man back to America.”

FBI: Explosive shipments linked to extremist ideology

According to court documents, Park supported Bartkus’s extremist anti-natalist ideology, which holds that birth without consent is unethical and that non-existence is preferable. Bartkus, 25, carried out the suicide bombing on May 17 by driving a vehicle filled with explosives into a Palm Springs fertility clinic, killing himself, injuring multiple people, and causing extensive property damage.

An FBI affidavit states that Park began sending explosive precursors in early 2025, including a shipment of 180 pounds of ammonium nitrate before a personal visit to Bartkus’s residence in Twentynine Palms, California. During his stay from Jan. 25 to Feb. 8, Park and Bartkus reportedly spent time in a detached garage conducting “experiments” with the chemicals.

“Park allegedly sent large amounts of explosive precursors to the man who drove a car bomb to a fertility clinic,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “The FBI and our partners work together to hold accountable those who engage in domestic terrorism.”

Three days before Park’s arrival, Bartkus used an AI chat application to research bomb-making techniques using ammonium nitrate and fuel, according to investigators. Law enforcement later found chemical materials at the garage following the bombing.

Return to U.S. follows international detention

On May 21, four days after the bombing, Park flew to Europe. Polish authorities detained him on May 30 and, following deportation proceedings, returned him to the United States for prosecution.

“Domestic terrorism is evil and unacceptable. Those who aid terrorists can expect to feel the cold wrath of justice,” said U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli for the Central District of California.

If convicted, Park faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in federal prison. The final sentence will be determined by a federal judge after considering applicable guidelines and statutory factors.

Massachusetts sanctuary cities ask judge to block Trump from cutting federal funds

by Breaking Local News Report June 5, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

SOMERVILLE, Mass. — The cities of Somerville and Chelsea asked a federal court Tuesday to halt the Trump administration’s efforts to revoke federal funding from sanctuary cities, citing violations of their constitutional rights.

The move comes after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a formal notice last week warning both cities to immediately revise their immigration policies or face consequences. The cities are represented by the Boston-based nonprofit Lawyers for Civil Rights, which filed a preliminary injunction motion in federal court.

According to the filing, the Trump administration is pressuring the cities to comply with federal immigration enforcement through threats of prosecution and defunding. “The President cannot use federal funding as a weapon to force local governments to undermine public safety,” said Oren Sellstrom, Litigation Director at Lawyers for Civil Rights.

Somerville and Chelsea have declared themselves sanctuary cities since 1987 and 2007, respectively. City leaders argue their policies encourage cooperation between law enforcement and immigrant communities by separating local policing from federal immigration enforcement.

The cities first filed suit in February, asserting that the administration’s tactics amount to unconstitutional coercion. Tuesday’s motion seeks to pause any action against the cities while the legal case moves forward.

Federal funds at stake for local services

The Department of Justice and the Department of Transportation have also warned of withholding grants and deprioritizing funding for sanctuary cities, according to public statements and policy documents. On May 29, DHS published a list of jurisdictions—including Somerville and Chelsea—that it claims are obstructing enforcement of immigration laws.

Somerville Mayor Katjana Ballantyne criticized the administration’s efforts, saying, “Stripping cities of their rights erodes everyone’s rights,” and added that the city would continue defending its policies in court.

Chelsea City Manager Fidel Maltez also voiced support for the legal action, stating, “Chelsea will not be bullied or intimidated into enforcing federal immigration laws,” and reaffirmed the city’s commitment to serving all residents regardless of immigration status.

In fiscal year 2024, Somerville received approximately $19.4 million in federal funds for services including roadway safety, homelessness prevention, and youth health initiatives. Chelsea received $14.5 million, which supported education programs and downtown infrastructure improvements.

New Jersey Sailor Reuinited with His Dog Archie After Returning Home from Combat Deployment

By: Breaking Local News Report

TOMS RIVER, N.J. — A U.S. Navy sailor has been reunited with his dog, Archie, after a public appeal went viral, prompting a resolution between the returning servicemember and the family that had been caring for the pet during his deployment.

Petty Officer Paulo Silva, who returned to New Jersey following active duty aboard the USS Harry S. Truman, discovered upon arrival that his dog had been rehomed without his knowledge. In response, he issued a public letter appealing for the return of Archie, whom he described as “my heart, my companion, and a piece of my soul.”

Silva’s appeal garnered widespread attention online and in the local community. He expressed gratitude toward the family that had cared for Archie, acknowledging their role in keeping the dog safe during his absence. “I want to sincerely thank the family who has been caring for him during this time,” Silva wrote in a public statement.

The family agreed to return Archie, and the handover occurred peacefully. In appreciation, Silva arranged for the family to receive a specially trained golden retriever puppy from a breeder that works with special needs households. The breeder has offered to donate the puppy free of charge.

Silva emphasized the importance of ending negative backlash directed at the family.

“I want to respectfully ask that everyone stop any further harassment, threats, or negative actions directed at the family,” he said. “The family is not at fault, and… it’s time to put this chapter behind us.”

Community and local groups involved in resolution

Support for Silva came from multiple directions, including the Toms River Police Department and local nonprofit Pints 4 Pets, which helped raise awareness of the situation.

The resolution brings an end to a weeks-long dispute that began when Silva learned Archie had been rehomed without his involvement. He had originally believed the dog would be in trusted care during his deployment and only found out about the rehoming after returning home.

Silva’s efforts to recover Archie gained momentum after he published a heartfelt letter detailing the bond between him and the dog. The message resonated with members of the military community and pet advocates nationwide.

With Archie now home, Silva has turned his attention to healing and reconnecting with his pet. He credited the local community for supporting him through what he described as an emotional ordeal.

Archie’s return marks the conclusion of a widely followed reunion story involving duty, trust, and the emotional bond between a sailor and his dog.

By: Breaking Local News Report

BEACHWOOD, N.J. — The Beachwood Soccer Field, originally slated to reopen in June following renovations, will now remain closed until approximately August 30, according to an updated notice from the Beachwood Police Department and Department of Public Works.

The field, located at the intersection of Berkeley Avenue and Cherry Street, has been undergoing renovations since April 7. The extended closure is intended to ensure the field is fully ready for use.

“Please be advised these fields will remain closed and will now be opening on or about August 30, 2025 to ensure that they will be ready for use,” the department stated.

Officials continue to request that the public stay off the grass area, which is being treated and may be unsafe for both people and animals. Foot traffic during this period could damage the developing grass and delay completion further.

Walking track remains accessible

Despite the closure of the field itself, the walking track surrounding the soccer field remains open for public use throughout the renovation period.

The Beachwood Soccer Field will stay closed until late August to allow new turf to fully take root following renovations.

Oil Spill Turns Baltimore’s Inner Harbor Red Near Fells Point

by Breaking Local News Report June 4, 2025
By: Breaking Local News Report

BALTIMORE, Md. — Maryland environmental crews responded Tuesday to an estimated 100-gallon oil spill in the Fells Point area, according to a statement from the Maryland Department of the Environment.

The spill, described as having an unknown origin, prompted an immediate response from the agency’s Emergency Response Team. Officials noted the oil’s reddish color is due to dye added to the substance.

“Our Emergency Response Team is currently in Fells Point responding to an approx. 100 gallon oil spill of unknown origin. The red color is coming from dye in the oil,” the department said in a message shared by city officials.

The U.S. Coast Guard and a private cleanup contractor are also involved in containment and cleanup efforts, working alongside state personnel. The exact location and extent of the environmental impact have not yet been disclosed.

Authorities advised residents, patrons, and visitors in the area to remain aware of cleanup operations, while stressing that further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

Cleanup efforts ongoing as investigation continues

As of Tuesday afternoon, no cause had been confirmed for the spill, and it remains unclear whether any water sources or wildlife were affected. Fells Point, a popular waterfront destination in southeast Baltimore, features restaurants, residences, and marina access.

The Maryland Department of the Environment said it would continue working with federal and local partners to manage the situation and investigate the source.

By: Breaking Local News Report

JACKSON, N.J. — Ocean County residents will have the opportunity to safely dispose of personal documents in Jackson Township on Saturday, June 7, as part of the county’s 2025 Residential Document Shredding Program.

The free shredding event will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. or until the shredding truck is full at 95 West Veterans Highway, according to a flyer from the Ocean County Board of Commissioners and the Department of Solid Waste Management.

The shredding program is open to all Ocean County residents and is for paper documents only. Materials containing sensitive personal information, such as Social Security numbers or bank account details, are accepted, but each participant is limited to four file boxes of paper. Reusable containers are welcome, but black plastic bags are prohibited.

“All documents [will be] destroyed confidentially on-site,” the county states in the flyer. Participants must remain in their vehicles, where workers will remove the documents directly for shredding.

The county warns that batteries, electronics, books, junk mail, greeting cards, photos, X-rays, and CDs are not permitted and could pose safety hazards. Loads containing such items may be rejected.

Part of larger seasonal schedule

Jackson’s event is one of six scheduled for the spring season. Other locations include Lakewood, Berkeley, Stafford, Waretown, and Point Pleasant Boro. The program resumes in the fall with events in Manchester, Lacey, Toms River, Brick, Little Egg Harbor, and Beachwood.

More information can be found at co.ocean.nj.us/recycle, or through the Ocean County Recycles app.
