Knife Attack: Nicole Bishop, 49, was arrested early Tuesday morning after she allegedly threatened to cut several people inside a Wiley Avenue home. A witness told police Bishop started arguing with everyone in the house around 1:30 a.m., and then held a knife to the back of a man’s neck while he was watching television. Bishop was still on scene when police arrived, so they arrested her after recovering a kitchen knife used in the threat.

Bensalem, Pa.
Underage Trespassers: Max Patterson, 19, of Raymond, NH, and a 16-year-old, also from New Hampshire, were arrested after they allegedly posed as construction workers and tried to enter Parx Casino through the employee entrance. Officials say the teens were wearing bright-colored construction jackets when they tried to enter the casino around noon last Thursday. After casino security stopped the teens from entering through the employee entrance, officials say, the kids returned the construction jackets to their vehicle and tried to enter the casino through a different entrance. After being stopped that second time, cops say, the teens retrieved the construction jackets from the vehicle again and entered the property through the casino’s planned expansion area. The teens managed to access the employee and secondfloor executive office areas before security apprehended them.
