Additional charges linked to March 2025 raid on Erie biker club

Authorities offered little information in late March 2025 on why law enforcement was out in full force in and around Erie, rounding up a number of people. Erie's police chief said at the time that the sweep was part of a criminal investigation between city police and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and that the arrest warrants they were serving were sealed. A chief deputy district attorney said his office authorized charges on a number of people related to an aggravated assault investigation, and also noted that the cases were sealed. It was soon revealed, through unsealed case documents and court hearings, that 16 people, all reported members of the Erie-based Iron Wings Motorcycle Club, were picked up on charges related to an assault at a celebration of life event an Erie social club hosted in January 2024. But it's now known, through two criminal complaints filed Aug. 25 and Sept. 1, that there was more to the sweep than just picking up assault suspects. According to information in complaints filed against 59-year-old North East resident Christopher P. Mitulski Sr. and 72-year-old Millcreek Township resident Stephen M. Simmons, authorities on the morning of March 27, 2025,

Children's Place files for bankruptcy. What we know about Erie store

The Children's Place , a presence at the Millcreek Mall since 1998, appears to be making plans to turn off the lights. Signs outside the retailer, located in the Boscov's concourse next to Gracylane, announce 30% to 60% off and a headline on the company website says: "All stores closing." But the 57-year-old New Jersey company, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Nov. 8, seems to be leaving itself some wiggle room. Chapter 11 bankruptcy provides the company with an opportunity to reorganize. The retailer, which operates more than 500 stores, hopes to do just that. The company said it hopes to substantially sell all of its assets "to secure the highest or otherwise best bid, with the goal of continuing the business." There's no guarantee that will happen. Management of the publicly traded company said: "While the Company pursues a buyer through the chapter 11 process, it must prepare for the possibility that a sale to continue the business cannot be achieved." The bottom line is simply unclear. According to its statement: "The Children’s Place has been evaluating its operational footprint to invest its resources in its strongest locations moving forward. The Company has determined that certain
