Kevin Small, of the 2600 block of Southampton Road in Philadelphia, was arrested a short time after the fire, police said. Small is now facing charges of homicide, arson and related offenses. He is expected to be arraigned late Sunday afternoon, police said.

Police did not say what they believe led Small to allegedly start the fire in the motel room, but investigators earlier said they were investigating the possibility that the suspect and victim were dating and a domestic dispute sparked it.

A longtime South Jersey stalwart shut down for nearly two years is slated to reopen next month after a makeover.

Mr. Bill's, a popular eatery for decades on Route 73 just before the Atlantic City Expressway in Winslow Township, has been open since the 1950s. The restaurant closed almost two years ago when its former owner retired -- but now, thanks to new owners and a face lift, a new, improved version of the restaurant is set to open in June.

• When Was That Pothole Repaired? Philly Might Not Know

John and Cheryl Ernst bought the old Mr. Bill's restaurant in April and have been keeping nearly 2,000 loyal fans of the eatery up to date on its progress via a Facebook page, "Mr. Bills of Winslow Twp."

This weekend, the Mr. Bill statue that adorns the front parking lot of the restaurant got a power wash, among other improvements chronicled on the page over the last several weeks.

Mr. Bill's has long been a staple for John Ernst, a Northeast Philadelphia native, who would stop by the restaurant with his parents for ice cream. So after retiring five years ago from his position as CEO at Deborah Heart and Lung Center in Browns Mills, he and Cheryl decided to jump into the restaurant business.

Cheryl Ernst said she and her husband are planning a grand reopening for the restaurant for sometime in June. Though the restaurant will look like new, she promised it won't feel different.

"We will have all the wonderful goodies that Mr. Bill's is known for," she said.

A fight among teenagers at a Montgomery County carnival Saturday night escalated to a group of girls ganging up on one, sending the teen to the hospital with injuries.

The fight broke out about 10 p.m. during the Roslyn Boys & Girls Club Carnival, an annual event held at Crestmont Park, along Old Welsh Road across the street from Willow Grove Park Mall, according to Abington Police.

Police said based on a preliminary investigation, they believe two girls who knew each other got into a fight, and that a number of other girls jumped in, eventually ganging up on the victim and assaulting her.

The victim was taken to Abington Memorial Hospital, where she was treated for abrasions and other injuries and later released, police said. All of the girls involved were under 18, according to police.

They're asking the public's help to identify others responsible for the assault. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Abington Police Detective Division at 267-536-1100 or email Det. Lisa Burton at lburton@abington.org.
