The FBI has made an arrest in the scam that duped Philadelphia weatherman John Bolaris twice out of more than $43,000 in credit card charges. Alec Simchuk picked up in Miami, is a nightclub owner with alleged ties to an Eastern European crime ring that uses attractive women to scam unsuspecting men into parting with their credit cards. Bolaris was scammed back in 2010 two days in a row.

The body of a deceased 98 year old woman was stolen from her grave in Atlantic City. The body of Pauline Spinelli was one of five family members in a secure mausoleum, but hers, who had lived to be the oldest, was the only one taken. Pleasantville Police say the mausoleum was secured by metal bars, a glass door and the casket was underneath a marble slab that was broken up with a sledgehammer.

Penn State is losing its first player since the release of the Freeh report. Backup safety Tim Buckley will transfer from Penn State in accordance with NCAA allowances after its sanctions against the school. Buckley will transfer to his home, North Carolina and two other 2013 recruits have de-committed, but coach Bill O?Brien expects the majority of the team to stay intact.
