Bedford Co., Man Jailed After Alleged Knife Attack

A Hyndman, Bedford County man remains behind bars without bail following a violent public disturbance Wednesday evening, during which he allegedly attacked a neighbor and his underage daughter with a knife. Forty-three-year-old Donald Merkel, was arrested by the Pennsylvania State Police after a brief scuffle outside a home along Brook Lane in Londonderry Township. According to investigators, the altercation began when Merkel reportedly made repeated derogatory comments about the male victim’s family. The dispute quickly escalated when Merkel pulled out a knife and attempted to attack the man’s family members. When the father intervened to protect his family, a scuffle ensued. Witnesses told state troopers that Merkel began wildly swinging the weapon, leaving the underage female victim with multiple cuts. The situation was brought under control when a nearby neighbor stepped in to assist the father. Together, the two men managed to disarm Merkel and detain him until state troopers arrived on the scene. According to online court records, Merkel is facing a variety of assault-related charges, including multiple felony counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault with extreme indifference, and other related counts.

York Catholic routs Newport in 2A semis, District 3 football scores

Michael Staub knew York Catholic had a comeback in the works. As the Fighting Irish trailed 11 points to Newport after one quarter, the junior quarterback didn't worry one bit. The Irish had been down early before, and they knew how to turn a game on a dime. So, when York Catholic needed him most, Staub took Friday night into his own hands and helped the Fighting Irish rally to a 38-14 win over the Buffaloes in the District 3 Class 2A semifinals. "I just wanted to win, man," Staub said. "I play my hardest and just got to get it done every week. We normally get down quick and we start slow, but we always keep fighting.
