Stab Him

SWATARA TOWNSHIP, Pa. —

Police have arrested a Dauphin County man who is accused of stabbing a woman to death Tuesday morning at a business in Swatara Township. 

Clifton Emerson Sr., 63, of Harrisburg, is charged with criminal homicide.

Two employees arrived for work shortly before 8 a.m. Once inside, they noticed a spilled coffee cup on the hallway floor, a large hole in the drywall next to the cup and a large pool of blood leading into their boss’s office. One of the employees looked through the window of the office and saw her lying on the ground. Believing she was dead, the two employees left the office and called 911. 

When officers arrived, they found the woman’s body. She has been identified as Mary Kelly. She appeared to have been stabbed in the head and neck. 

Knives, trail of bloody footprints

Police found a trail of bloody footprints that led from the crime scene to an adjacent warehouse. 

“The footprints led into the warehouse and next to a large trash can. Inside the can were two blood-covered kitchen-type knives and what appeared to be hair,” the affidavit said. 

A security employee at the business shared video with police showing Kelly arriving for work and disarming the alarm system. A couple of minutes later, a red SUV pulled in. Police said she did not appear to notice the SUV. 

A couple of minutes later, the man who was in the SUV disappeared from camera view under the roof leading to the front entrance. Police said no one else entered the building. The man left about 10 minutes later. 

Complaints about work hours

Police said one employee told them another employee, Clifton Emerson Sr., who had worked there for about four years, drove a vehicle like the one seen in the video. That same worker said Emerson had been “complaining about a lack of hours and not having enough money to pay his rent in the past week.”

Police said Kelly and Emerson were the only ones in the building until she was discovered dead. Based on that, charges were filed and the request for an arrest warrant was made.

No Scanning

You may not scan me nor my fam.

The battle over Chicago’s food delivery robots has reached the courts, with two customers accusing the companies behind them of collecting their biometric data without consent.

The men filed separate class-action lawsuits in Cook County court Oct. 9 against Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics, alleging the companies violated a state privacy law. They claim the companies’ machines scanned their faces and hands without their knowledge or consent.

Both companies dispute the allegations.

The lawsuits allege the robots’ cameras and LiDAR — a technology that sends out laser pulses to measure distances and map the surrounding environment — captured measurements of customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to retrieve their orders. 

Mitchell Breidinger, from the Near North Side, says he ordered groceries through DoorDash in September 2025 and never chose robot delivery. But his order was assigned to a Coco robot, according to his lawsuit. When it arrived, he had to stand close to the machine to enter a code and retrieve his groceries. 

Breidinger alleges the robot’s cameras recorded his face, head and hands, while its LiDAR sensors measured their geometry. His lawsuit also alleges a remote operator watched video of the delivery in real time. He says Coco did not tell him in writing that it would collect his biometric information, explain how long it would keep the data or obtain his written consent. 

Barry Schain, a Lincoln Park resident, alleges a similar experience with Serve Robotics. He says he has received three deliveries from Serve robots, most recently Oct. 4, when an Uber Eats order was assigned to a robot even though he had not selected robot delivery, according to the lawsuit. 

Both lawsuits claim the companies retain video and sensor data to train artificial intelligence systems. Schain’s lawsuit also points to Serve’s disclosures about licensing video and LiDAR datasets to third parties for AI training. Breidinger’s lawsuit claims Coco has shared robot-collected data with OpenAI and other third parties.-ap News

PA Govt Problem

This shouldn’t be on drivers. This is an absolute absurdity on our PA govt. They are the ones who resigned this. They spent how much of our taxpayers money to redesign this and they didn’t see the potential problems?

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Drivers with Pennsylvania’s redesigned license plates continue to report problems with E-ZPass toll charges, months after officials said they were working on a fix to address the issue.

The problem stems from automated toll systems reading a redesigned zero on some Pennsylvania license plates as the number eight.

Action News first reported on the issue in February.

Jules R. Cattie III of Francisville said he has repeatedly received toll bills for a Toyota Corolla he does not own.

“I was getting bills for like $30, $40, and they were just constantly ringing up on my account,” Cattie said.

According to Cattie, the license plate on the other vehicle closely resembles his own.

“The license plate was similar, except for that, where they have a 0, I have an 8,” he said.

The issue involves a redesigned zero marked with a slash, which some automated license plate readers, including the system used by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, have recorded as an eight.

“This is an issue not only impacting us in the tolling industry but also agencies that use license plate recognition software in other ways,” Crispin Havener with the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission told Action News back in February.

Cattie said the billing problems have persisted, requiring him to regularly review his account for incorrect charges and dispute them when they appear.

“E-ZPass should be doing something to catch this before they bill everybody. They’re billing the wrong party,” he said.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission told the Troubleshooters that its system has “undergone a couple software enhancements” and that it will “continue working with our vendor to improve accuracy.”

The commission also advised customers to ensure their E-ZPass transponders are properly mounted so transactions can be processed through E-ZPass rather than relying on license plate images to identify vehicles.

However, that solution would not help drivers such as Cattie when charges are linked to another vehicle.

“It’s frustrating,” Cattie said.

E-ZPass said customers who continue receiving incorrect toll charges do not need to submit a new Toll Dispute Form each time. According to E-ZPass, customers can request that their license plates be added to a manual review list for future Pennsylvania Turnpike transactions.

Drivers with a zero or an eight on their license plates are encouraged to review their accounts for potential billing errors.

Cattie said he has lost money in some cases after contacting turnpike agencies in other states too late to resolve disputed charges. He said motorists need to identify mistakes before it is too late to challenge them.

Losses and Crosses

God’s Medicine: Affliction by J.C. Ryle

Affliction is one of God’s medicines. By it He often teaches lessons which would be learned in no other way. By it He often draws souls away from sin and the world, which would otherwise have perished everlastingly.

Health is a great blessing, but sanctified disease is a greater. Prosperity and worldly comfort, are what all naturally desire; but losses and crosses are far better for us, if they lead us to Christ. Thousands at the last day, will testify with David, “It is good for me that I have been afflicted.” (Psalm. 119:71.)
