Stolen Auto: Ibnmaalik Bingham, 34, was arrested after police allegedly found him in the driver’s seat of a stolen vehicle near the intersection of Federal and Lamberton streets. Officials say detectives from the Street Crimes Unit were patrolling that area due to complaints of open-air drug dealing when they saw a 2004 Subaru leaving a bar in the area. The driver of that car, later identified as Bingham, saw cops and immediately pulled over and parked several feet from the curb, prompting police to further investigate. Police say the car was previously reported stolen out of Ewing, so Bingham
was charged with receiving stolen property. Aggressive Panhandling: Jeffery Williams, 43, was arrested for aggressive panhandling on Route 1near Warren Street. Police say he was also wanted in connection with an outstanding warrant. “We’re definitely cracking down on aggressive panhandlers,” Lt. Darren Zappley said. Domestic Violence: Sheik Moore, 25, was arrested after he allegedly assaulted the mother of their child. The victim told police Moore started an argument over the phone, then later showed up at her house, where it continued. When the woman pushed Moore to leave the house, officials say, he ripped out a chunk of her hair, punched her in the face and then strangled her to the point where she couldn’t breathe. Moore eventually released the woman and fled before cops arrived. Warrants were issued for his arrest and he was picked up Tuesday. $4Robbery: Police are searching for a group of young men who robbed two people in the Chambersburg section of the city. The victims told cops they were near the intersection of Elmer and Hudson streets when four people between the ages of 17and 20approached them and asked for money. When the victims said they didn’t have any money, one of the suspects then pulled out a black handgun and demanded cash. The victims turned over $4to the robbers, who then fled on foot.
