Disabled motorist calls leads to arrest for pair from District of Columbia

Rockefeller Township, Pa. — Two men from Washington D.C. were arrested in Northumberland County when police pulled over a vehicle and found close to an ounce of marijuana. Jamaar Parkman, 47, and Issac Pearson, 26, both face charges from the traffic stop on Nov. 4 in Rockefeller Township. Trooper Robert Hendrickson of PSP Stonington says he responded just before 1 a.m. to a call about a disabled motorist on Miller Road. Police found a U-Haul truck that was running parked along the roadway. The truck was towing a travel camper without lights, according to the affidavit. Both Parkman and Pearson were asleep in the vehicle, police say. Hendrickson noted the driver's side window was partially down and there was a strong odor of marijuana. A roach was in the cup holder, according to the affidavit. Pearson, who had been driving, admitted to smoking marijuana earlier that day. His eyes were bloodshot and he seemed slow and lethargic, Hendrickson noted. Pearson said the pair had been driving back to D.C. The passenger, Parkman, originally gave troopers a fake name before telling them his real name. Parkman gave police a package with a small amount of marijuana and said that was all

Northern Lebanon's 'family bond' led to a culture shift in 2026

HANOVER — There’s no secret to success, but Northern Lebanon football has built the right culture in Year 1 with Nate Monroe in charge. The Vikings fell in overtime during the District 3 Class 4A quarterfinals on Nov. 13, and the final play of the game decided a 22-21 loss to an undefeated Hanover squad. There was almost no momentum in Northern Lebanon’s corner after a 14-0 deficit in the third quarter, but the team’s push “as a family” delivered the Vikings’ first overtime game since 2023. WATCH: Cedar Crest's Reyes talks playoff comeback, eight score game Awards: Giving out awards to Lebanon County's top football players in 2026 After scoring one touchdown, Vikings senior Brady Ryan said his last varsity game was amazing to experience and caps off his best year of football so far. “This year's meant everything to me,” Ryan said. “This is the best team and the best coaching staff I've ever been a part of." “We’re just always a family, you could see it at the end.
