Police Say Man Made Up Story About Missing 4 Year Old: After undergoing an extensive search involving helicopters, officers on the ground and K9 units, police learned that a man's report that armed robbers stole his vehicle while a missing boy was inside was completely false and he lied to investigators. The 22-year-old man told investigators he was a pizza delivery man who was watching his friend's 4-year-old son. The man claimed he was carjacked by two armed men when he made a delivery to a home on the 4600 block of Sydenham Street around 9:30 p.m. Monday. He also claimed the boy was still inside the car during the carjacking. Police found the man's vehicle about a half a mile away on the 1600 block of Saint Pauls Street but no one was inside. After a large search throughout the neighborhood, police learned that the man lied to investigators, officials said. He was not robbed and a 4-year-old boy is not missing. Police have not yet revealed whether the man will face any charges. They are currently speaking to his friends to find out why he made the false report

WHAT YOU MISSED YESTERDAY
Masked Gunman Kidnaps, Assaults 2 Women in Delaware: The kidnapping of a woman at a Wilmington apartment complex appears to be related to a similar incident last week, according to investigators. New Castle County Police said Monday that a woman was in the common area of the Arundel Apartments on Sunday around 7:45 p.m. when she was confronted by a man wearing a black mask and brandishing a handgun. The man forced her into her apartment and physically and sexually assaulted her, according to investigators. Police say he then forced her into her car and made her drive to several ATMs and withdraw money. The woman was able to escape and call 911. Police believe the suspect is the same man who kidnapped and assaulted another woman at the Top of the Hill Apartments community in Wilmington on Feb. 13.

Trump Taps Lt. Gen. McMaster as National Security Adviser: President Donald Trump has picked Army Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster to succeed Michael Flynn as his national security adviser, Trump said Monday. He made the announcement at Mar-a-Lago, flanked by McMaster and the acting adviser, retired Army Gen. Keith Kellogg. Kellogg will stay on as McMaster's chief of staff, Trump said. "He's a man of tremendous talent and tremendous experience," Trump said of McMaster. "He is highly respected by everybody in the military.” The president, who has no military experience, has shown a preference for generals in the top security roles. McMaster, who wore his uniform for the announcement, joins Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, both retired generals.
'Vigilante' Puts Stickers on Vehicles Parked in Bike Lane: A self-described “bike lane vigilante” released a video showing him placing tow-away stickers on vehicles that he says were illegally parked in bike lanes in Philadelphia. Throughout the 3-minute, 20-second long video, the cyclist places the stickers on the vehicles and tells drivers who are illegally parked to move. “What I’ve noticed is that once one vehicle is blocking the bike lane, other drivers seem to think it is more acceptable to also block the bike lane in front or behind the first vehicle,” he said. “I often see clusters of two to four vehicles blocking the bike lanes.” In recent years, the Philadelphia Parking Authority has encouraged city bike riders to report cars or trucks that are parked in bike lanes. It is illegal for a vehicle to stop or park in a bike lane with a "No Stopping" sign. Vehicles may load or unload in a bike lane with a "No Parking" sign but can't stay for more than 20 minutes.

Ohio Woman Uses Obit for One Final Jab at Trump: As her loved ones mourn their loss, one Ohio woman found a source of comfort in her own passing – by taking a shot at President Donald Trump in her obituary. Elizabeth "Liz" Smith died Monday at the age of 87, surrounded by her family, who then made her political views well known. "Liz is smiling now, not to be living during the Trump presidency," her obituary reads. A member of Huron County Democratic Party and a poll worker, Smith’s daughter told the Sandusky Register that her mother "doesn’t like the man, she never has.” "She had seen that in somebody else’s obituary and kind of made a note of that," said Deborah Lucal. Smith was a lifetime member of Girl Scouts USA and an avid volunteer, as well as an active member of her church and a travel enthusiast. Read more.
