Blair County Inmate's Lawsuit Over Shower Beating Survives Magistrate's Recommendation

A federal magistrate judge has recommended allowing one claim in former Blair County Prison inmate Bronson L. Brown’s lawsuit to proceed, finding factual disputes that prevent an early dismissal. Brown, 42, of Altoona, alleges a corrections officer slammed his head into a shower door, walls and floor in December 2022. He is seeking more than $1 million in damages and says the incident caused facial swelling, a gash on his ear and a severe shoulder injury.

Can Centre County expect its first snowfall this weekend? What to know

Centre County has enjoyed an unusually warm fall, but that appears to be coming to an end — at least for a weekend. Temperatures in the State College area are predicted to approach freezing Friday night and dip below freezing at around 26 degrees Saturday night. But, despite early forecast models that prematurely predicted several inches of snow, AccuWeather meteorologist Alex DaSilva said there likely won’t be any significant snowfall in Happy Valley. It’s still possible, DaSilva said, that State College might technically record its first snowfall of the year Friday into Saturday. But, with minimal precipitation, he’s projecting it would likely amount to one-tenth of an inch or a trace of snow, the latter of which would technically not qualify as the season’s first snowfall because it must be a measurable amount. “I’m not ruling that out,” DaSilva told the CDT, referring to a measurable one-tenth of an inch. “I just don’t think people should expect to wake up Saturday morning, look outside and see white.” Last year, the first measurable snowfall came Nov. 10 at a half-inch. In 2024, it was Nov. 24. And, in 2023, it was Halloween on Oct. 31. If locals don’t experience a measurable
