CRIME NEWS
- ➤ Scranton police arrested Bobbie Pinko and Jesus Matias Marrero on July 13 for the July 7 stabbing of Nicholas Gursky—Gursky was hospitalized in critical condition while Pinko faces a charge of conspiracy to commit aggravated assault and Marrero faces charges including aggravated assault and robbery.

ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ On Monday morning, the Endless Dreams Animals shelter in Red Rock was hit by fast-moving muddy water from Kitchen Creek that swept away cages, fences, and food while leaving some animals stranded.

GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ PEMA director Randy Padfield sent a letter to his federal counterpart urging FEMA to revise proposals that would raise the damage threshold for federal disaster declarations—changes that could shift more spending to state and local governments.
