' Spit Spreads Death ': a mournful march Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA—Philadelphia police officers have been detained and indicted with sex offenses, authorities claim. The authorities identified the policeman as 28-year-old Novice Sloan in the 17th District on Saturday night. Sloan was detained on Friday for an incident that took place on 8 August. 

The Philadelphia District Attorney's Office has lodged accusations of sexual assault against Sloan. The prosecutors and the police released a few info about the incident but asserted that the fatality was a woman. Officials think that there may be more victims.

Sloan was charged with sexual assault, indecent assault, and simple assault. He was detained on Friday and taken to the Criminal Justice Center on Saturday. The Temple Police have verified that Sloan is a former employee of the Department.

You can see Sloan in a tweet from Temple P.D. Awarded in 2017 for rescuing a household from a burning house.

"These are extremely severe allegations against a person tasked with the protection of the public and, as with all cases of sexual assault, My department will carefully and thoroughly investigate this matter, "District Attorney Larry Krasner said in a statement.

Sloan is due back to the court for his court hearing on 17 October. Bail was laid for the officer at $1 million. To be released, he has to pay $100,000.

Over the past month, there has been a range of scandals involving the Philadelphia Police Department. Thirteen policemen were fired, four policemen were suspended for 30 days, and 52 policemen were suspended for five days or more following an inner inquiry by the police department into racist and insulting remarks on social media by dozens of officers.

Police Commissioner Richard Ross resigned not long after owing to accusations of sexual harassment within the police department.

Overwatch League Ready For Grand Finals In Philadelphia on Sunday’s

When the San Francisco Shock fights the Vancouver Titans at 3 p.m. East on Sunday (televisioned nationally on ABC and broadcasted on Twitch) in the second Overwatch League Grand Finals from the sold-out Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, the league will have finished a week of promotions and events in the host city to give the event a week-long Super Bowl environment.

"We let Philadelphia understand we're here," said Daniel Cherry, Chief Marketing Officer for OWL and Activision Blizzard Esports.

Similar to the Super Bowl Week or the NBA All-Star Weekend, Overwatch painted Philly with its orange flags and banners in areas like the Boathouse Row, the Navy Yard, and the subway stations.

In addition to multiple events around the town with products such as Coca-Cola, T-Mobile, State Farm, Fanatics, Xfinity, Upper Deck, Overwatch League has introduced players from all 20 teams to various appearances and charity activities throughout the week. On Wednesday, the club set soil for the city's first special sports arena close Xfinity Live.

On Saturday, the league brings Martin Garrix to EDM star for a free concert. The Overwatch League also accepted the city on social media, taking its championship trophy to various iconic spots in Philadelphia for Twitter and Instagram.

There will also be a unique matchday fan feast outside the Wells Fargo Arena, including an introduction of the Bud Light payload. In the Overwatch match, the payload is the catch-the-flag-like object players need to get and move in many of the game's maps to gain victory. The interactive, real-life payload will be at the parking lot of the arena, and fans will have to push the payload truck to a certain area to unlock the truck and get free beer.

The Overwatch League is the highest increasing sports league in the U.S., according to Nielsen, and claims its average viewer is 24 years aged compared to 42 in the NBA, 50 in the NFL and 57 in the Major League Baseball. Nielsen statistics indicate that 70 percent of OWL spectators drop into the desired demographics of 18-34 years of age and that over 10 million witnessed last year's Grand Finals between London Spitfire and Philadelphia Fusion from the sold-out Barclays Center in Brooklyn— Cherry said the league wasn't sure what kind of demand the event would have won, even though the league was going blindly into its first marquee event.

New Report: Philadelphia Poverty Down, Incomes Up

The poverty rate of the city decreased from 25.7% in 2016 to 24.5% in 2018.

Philadelphia's poverty rate, a strong and stubborn indicator of hard times that have long hindered the city's reputation, has dropped to its lowest level since 2008—near the beginning of the recession.

U.S. Census: 8 thing you need know

Average household income here rose at the same time.

The findings included in a voluminous U.S. report. The Census Bureau released Thursday, showing that the poverty rate in the city fell from 25.7% in 2016 to 24.5% in 2018. The number of residents living in poverty in Philadelphia fell by 14,537 — from 391,653 to 377,116 — while the median (inflation-adjusted) household income rose from $43,372 to $46,116.

In a rare and startling addendum to the report, known as the American Community Survey (ACS), the Census Bureau stated that the data in last year's release depicting poverty, income and other aspects of life in Philadelphia in 2017 were incorrect. Census officials have advised that incorrect statistics for that year will not be used to make comparisons. That admission roiled some of the city leaders, at the same time confirming their suspicions that those figures had been wrong all along.

Like a busted needle stuck in the red zone, the poverty rate in Philadelphia has not dropped below 25% since 2008. Economists, city officials, and some anti-poverty advocates were then pleased to see a positive change in poverty and household income.

"It's significant improvement, especially the healthy median income gain," said Mark Zandi, Moody's Analytics chief economist. "It goes to the strength of the Philadelphia economy, which is about as strong as I have ever seen in terms of growth in wages, unemployment, and number of jobs."

Ira Goldstein, president of policy solutions at the Philadelphia Reinvestment Fund, a financial institution that helps people with low incomes, thought the findings of the ACS were relevant.

U.S. Highest level income inequality in 50 Years

"There's no reason we shouldn't have a lower poverty rate," he said. "The unemployment rate in the city in May was 4.9%, down from 6.7% in 2016, from 653,000 employees to 681,000."

Not surprisingly, the office of Mayor Jim Kenney was pleased.

"It gives us hope and self belief that we are progressing," said Maari Porter, Deputy Chief of Staff Policy and Strategic Initiatives at the Mayor's Office. "But there is no denying that one quarter of the Philadelphians are still too many in poverty."

Still, she cited the beneficial city policies of "supporting people who need assistance with housing and eviction," focusing on the development of the workforce, and expanding pre-K for children.

The lineup of Washington Nationals with Philadelphia Phillies for the first of two today

Washington and Philadelphia are playing a double-header in D.C. today, with the first match at 1:05 PM EDT and the second at 7:05 PM.

Washington Nationals bench coach Chip Hale, filling in for manager Davey Martinez as the skipper followed up with his doctor after last week's health care, speaking to D.C. Press corps on Monday to rival Philadelphia Phillies with their regional rival in the final series this season.

The Philly started the series on the brink of elimination from the National League's Wild Card race, while the Nationals, barring a complete collapse in the last week, were trying to lock up their home field in the final eight games for what looks like it's going to be a win-or-go-home match with Milwaukee.

The respective records of the Nats and Phillies, Hale said, were unlikely to make the match any less intense. "We're playing so much in a league, and there's a contest there," Hale said.

"They're right up the road from us, it's a big rivalry, so I don't believe it would matter what the documents were, we want to defeat them, they enjoy to beat us, we've had some really great battles this year, and I'm hoping all five matches to be battles.

Just like in Miami, they've played us hard, we've won 2 out of 3 and it would have been nice to get the last one, but they've earned it. They came back and defeated us, so I felt like all five matches here are supposed to be the same direction.

Washington began the 9-5 series against Philadelphia in 2019, with a 4-1 mark at home in the nation's capital, and a 5-4 record in Citizens Bank Park, having achieved five of the last six against their regional rivals, and a 7-2 victory in the first of five in Nationals Park.

With their magic number down to 3, the Nationals could potentially lock things up today, but the second-year skipper said he intended the team to approach the double-header the same direction they did the past 155 matches.

Dray Clark, NBC10 reporter and anchor, charged in cases of domestic violence

Dray Clark, an NBC10 reporter, and the anchor was detained on Friday and charged with his girlfriend in domestic violence, police said.

Dray Clark, an NBC10 reporter, and news presenter was detained on Friday and charged with domestic assault involving his girlfriend, police said. Clark, 41, is charged with 16 offenses including simple assault, terrorist attacks, robbery, and harassment.

A female identified as Clark's girlfriend told the police that an argument outside Clark's Chester, Pennsylvania, escalated at the house early Thursday, and Clark struck her several times, put his arms around her neck, and choked her, according to a police criminal complaint.

The lady informed the police that she agreed to enter Clark's house because her young child was there. Inside the house, the criminal complaint said, Clark, escalated physical violence again and squeezed the female.

The police complaint lodged on Friday states that Clark was detained last night in Wilmington, Delaware, and accused of beating the same female.

NBC10 released this statement a short period later: "The station management discovered that Dray Clark had been detained on both domestic violence cases. We take these allegations very severely. Dray will be out of the air immediately, pending the station's investigation."

Clark was charged on Friday afternoon, and an unsecured bail was laid at $20,000.

Police: Philadelphia middle school students got sick from marijuana-induced Rice Krispies treats:

A student at the West Oak Lane Charter School in Philadelphia took marijuana-laced treats to school on Friday, and gave them to other students, said the principal.

"Some students took some edible marijuana this morning," said Charletta Zeigler, the principal of the K-8 charter, who said she called the police after learning about the incident from other students.

Between the ages of 11 and 13, the students involved, Zeigler said.

Police said the student provided Rice Krispies Treats to at least 15 other students around 9:50 a.m. After the administrators realized what had happened, they arranged to have the students to be medically evaluated at 7115 Stenton Ave. A police spokesman refused to provide extra information, including whether to charge the student, stating it was "still early in the inquiry."

Zeigler said the children posted on social media on Thursday that "it was going to occur." Students informed school officials about the posts on Friday, Zeigler said.

Students were returned to their parents after they had been evaluated, Zeigler said. She said that none of the students were sick, but refused to discuss the details of the incident, citing the ongoing investigation. "We're just making sure the students are OK right now," she said. "We cooperate completely" with the police.

"It's pretty difficult," she said, stopping something like this from happening."What we can do is continue educating our kids and parents." The school left voice messages for parents and sent students home with a letter on Friday, Zeigler said.

One of the oldest charter schools in the city, West Oak Lane opened in 1998 and enrolls more than 1,000 students.

It's far from being the only school to deal with marijuana edibles. Across the country, in the prior year, schools have recorded incidents regarding students offering marijuana gummy bears and cookies to classmates. In some cases, children have been unaware of marijuana-containing candies.

In May, the Cheltenham School District informed parents that students at Cedarbrook Middle School had ingested edibles of marijuana. While there are 20 medical marijuana dispensaries in Philadelphia, cannabis sellers in Pennsylvania are forbidden from selling edibles.

Cameras catches dangerous driving in the I-10 working zone

PHOENIX — At first glance, it seemed that they were the kind of incorrect-way drivers that we see so often in the Area. Surveillance cameras reveal two cars heading east on the west side of the I-10 HOV lane.

But it wasn't in the center of the evening, it was at 10:00 a.m. It's a Saturday. ADOT spokesman David Rookhuyzen said the agency workers also found them.

Rookhuyzen said it appears that they were actually drivers who reversed the course to avoid the backup leading to the I-10 closure. "There are a few choices to get around you that do not have to wait in the backup," he said.

Rookhuyzen said some drivers even tried to reach the eastbound lanes through the median. I-10 closed for paving and painting as part of the South Mountain Freeway project on Friday night from 51st Ave. to 75th Ave.

Although the large speed signs on the road indicate of the upcoming closure, most drivers were reportedly caught off guard by the traffic line on Saturday morning.

Cameras showed a number of drivers crossing five lanes of traffic to the 35th Ave off-ramp. A pick-up truck was driving a trailer a couple of feet in reverse until it could cross over to the ramp.

"They're supposed to take another freeway. We've got I-17 or Loop 101 if that works for them," Rookhuyzen said. "The city streets are also an option."

ADOT workers track the highways from their offices and warn DPS when they see illegal vehicles. A DPS cruiser could be seen sitting in the HOV lane within 10 minutes of seeing the pickup truck in turn for several feet.

The closure from 51st Ave. to 75th Ave. ends at 7 a.m. Sunday morning, however, there will be more closures to navigate around as the South Mountain Freeway Project continues. You can always check here or AZ511 to find out in advance which roads are closed.

Rookhuyzen said they would normally be posted on AZ511 on Thursdays for the coming weekend.
