6,657 dollars, the amount the chief of police in Chester Township is charged with stealing for cashing another man’s worker’s compensation check. Chief Tim Wilson has now filed motions seeking to have the charges dismissed.

15, age of student at Pottstown High School who has been charged with plotting a Columbine-style attack on the school after the winter holiday.
35 years since a new hotel has opened its doors in Chester. That will end today when Best Western opens its 60-room facility in the University Crossing development near Widener. It’s a $50 million projected that is expected to bring in $1.8 million in taxes to the beleaguered city
40 degree difference in the temperature between Monday and today. It was 20 early Monday. Today it’s 60 in the rain. Bet on everyone being sick just in time for the holidays.
1 person killed and another pistol-whipped in the Tioga section of Philadelphia overnight in what police are saying was a drug deal gone bad.
1 person killed when an SUV struck and killed a woman in Bristol, Bucks County. The driver of the SUV stopped, got out, then got back in and sped off.

9 wins against 4 losses for the Atlanta Falcons. They stand in the way of the Eagles’ path to a wild-card playoff slot. That’s why you need to cheer for the Bucs this weekend. They’re playing the Falcons.
23 points and 12 rebounds for Dante Cunningham for Villanova against No. 6 Texas last night. It wasn’t enough as the ‘Cats fell, 67-58.
