Hundreds of people gathered in Neshaminy State Park in Bensalem, Bucks County, today as part of the 'Spirit of America' rallies held across the country in support of President Donald Trump. This rally was hosted by the group People4Trump PA 8th. The attendees braved the cold and wind to send a message of approval to the current administration and Republicans in office. Local businessman Jim Worthington, founder of People4Trump, said, "More importantly, we wanna reach out to all Americans. I mean this isn't about being against anybody. In fact, I don't know how the heck you can even get America to move forward if no one is trying to work together."

Delaware State Police announced that a 71-year-old Philadelphia woman has been arrested and charged for a stabbing related to a road rage incident last year. Mary M. Craig was arrested in her home on Friday. The attack happened back in November. Women in two cars exchanged profanities with each other while stopped at a red light in the Felton, DE area. The victim was stabbed in the torso and taken to the hospital. Craig has been charged with first-degree assault, possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony and first-degree reckless endangering. She has been arraigned and released on $46,000 unsecured bond.

A memorial was held on Saturday outside of the 22nd District police station for Philadelphia Sergeant Robert Wilson III. It has been two years since the officer was gunned down in the line of duty during an attempted robbery inside of a GameStop store. Dozens of police officers, including his former partner Damien Stevenson and Police Commissioner Richard Ross, attended the memorial. His family was also in attendance. Wilson went into the store in March 2015 to do a patrol check and decided to buy a game for his son's upcoming birthday when two men attempted to rob the store. He was caught in a shootout while protecting the other customers. The two men have a pre-trial hearing next month. The vigil ended with balloons being released into the air following a prayer recited by Wilson's grandmother.
