TD Bank Employee Tampers with Archidiocese of Philadelphia Donations: A TD Bank employee tampered with and “manually mishandled” donations that were sent to two fund-raising appeals with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, according to a letter sent to parishioners on Thursday. Monsignor Daniel J. Kutys announced that a TD Bank employee tampered with direct mail and in-pew donations meant for the annual Catholic Charities Appeal and the annual Seminary Appeal, which utilize separate and designated lock boxes through a TD Bank facility for processing. A spokesman for the Archdiocese told NBC10 the investigation began after several donors reported their donations had not cleared their bank accounts after a lengthy amount of time had passed. The Archdiocese and Catholic Foundation of Greater Philadelphia shared the reports with TD Bank which launched an internal review at its lock box facility leading to the discovery of the misappropriation of donations. Police were then contacted which led to an arrest. The tampering occurred between December, 2016 and July, 2017, according to the spokesperson.

Harvey Could Have Deep Impact on Texas Oil, US Economy: Massive flooding caused by Tropical Storm Harvey along Texas' refinery-rich coast could have long-standing and far-reaching consequences for the state's oil and gas industry and the larger U.S. economy. The storm's remnants left much of Houston underwater on Sunday, and the National Weather Service says it's not over yet: Some parts of Houston and its suburbs could end up with as much as 50 inches (1.3 meters) of rain. With the heavy precipitation expected to last for days, it's still unclear how bad the damage will be, but there is already evidence of widespread losses. Key oil and gas facilities along the Texas Gulf Coast have temporarily shut down, and flooding in the Houston and Beaumont areas could seriously pinch gasoline supplies. Companies operating in the Gulf of Mexico have evacuated drilling platforms and rigs, crimping the flow of oil and gas. Experts believe gasoline prices could increase as much as 25 cents a gallon. Harvey's toll on air travel in the U.S. is set to extend into Monday, with the tracking service FlightAware.com reporting that more than 1,400 flights already have been canceled. That's in addition to more than 2,000 canceled over the weekend.

How to Help the Red Cross Respond to Harvey: The American Red Cross is accepting monetary and blood donations to help those affected by Harvey, which is still dumping rain on the Houston area in Texas. Harvey made landfall late Friday as a category 4 hurricane. It later weakened, but has been lingering over Houston, causing unprecedented flooding. Houston-area officials said they already performed more than 1,000 water rescues and nearly 1,000 more were in queue early Sunday as torrential rain from Harvey in the city and across southeast Texas. The National Weather Service is asking people to get on their roofs if the highest floor of the house becomes "dangerous.” On their website, the Red Cross is calling for blood donations, which are being accepted throughout the country. The Red Cross is also accepting donations online, which can be paid with a credit card or Pay Pal. You can call 1-800-RED CROSS or make a $10 donation by texting "HARVEY" to 90999.  Read more.

Colin Warner spent 21 years behind bars wrongly accused of murder. He and former Philadelphia Eagle Nnamdi Asomugha, the actor who portrays someone who helps Warner get out of prison in the new movie 'Crown Heights,' speak with NBC10's Tracy Davidson.

The CEO of the Eastern Pennsylvania Region of the Red Cross, Judge Renee Cardwell Hughes, speaks with NBC10's Tracy Davidson about what the Red Cross is doing to help, how you can help and how NBC10 is helping those impacted by Harvey.

New Jersey lawmakers are simultaneously aiding Texas and scorning Lone Star State lawmakers as the state endures massive flooding caused by Tropical Storm Harvey, which shows no signs of abating until later in the week.

U.S. Rep. Donald Norcross, D-N.J., and Rep. Frank LoBiondo, R-N.J., both issued statements expressing their support for sending emergency disaster funds to Texas even though the state's politicians failed to do the same when Superstorm Sandy pummeled New Jersey in 2012.

"We are the United States of America and in times of trouble, emergencies and hardship, we must remain unified," Norcross said. “We will never move forward as a country if we hold grudges. Let’s put partisanship and geography aside and remember that we're in it together.”

LoBiondo announced his intention via Twitter:

"Disasters & emergencies are just that...disasters & emergencies. Must stand together as Americans, not be hypocritical based on geography," LoBiondo said.

Republican Rep. Peter King from New York also tweeted over the weekend “that 1 bad turn doesn’t deserve another" and promised to back sending relief funds.

When Sandy knocked out power from the Jersey Shore up to Boston, eight Texas Republicans voted against increasing flood insurance and 23 voted against emergency funds for victims. Both measures eventually passed in the House and Senate and were signed into law by President Barack Obama.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was among those who did not vote for Sandy relief.

"Emergency relief for the families who are suffering from this natural disaster should not be used as a Christmas tree for billions in unrelated spending," he said in a statement at the time.

“Two thirds of this spending is not remotely ‘emergency’; the Congressional Budget Office estimates that only 30 percent of the authorized funds would be spent in the next 20 months, and over a billion dollars will be spent as late as 2021.”

Projected home damage from Harvey could be upward of $40 billion, according to one global property analyst CoreLogic.

On Friday before Harvey struck, Cruz and fellow Texas Sen. Cornyn urged President Donald Trump to grant Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s request for a major disaster declaration for the state.

“Given the potential catastrophic impact that the Hurricane may have on Texas communities, we strongly support this request and urge you to provide any and all emergency protective measures available by a major disaster declaration,” they said.

By Friday evening, Trump had directed federal aid towards recovery in the form of “grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster.”

The president and first lady are scheduled to arrive in Texas Tuesday.

Volunteers and relief workers, including Pennsylvania firefighters and members of the America Red Cross, are also heading to Texas.

Matthew Ruggles, son of former NBC10 reporter Terry Ruggles, just moved to Houston from the Philadelphia area. He phoned NBC10 about his experience during flooding cuased by Harvey.

Although the Delaware City Fire Department hopes to never get flooding like Houston is getting, they are preparing. NBC10's Tim Furlong meets up with the team to get the full story.

A viewer contacted Harry Hairston and NBC10 Responds after she experienced computer problems and the cost was much more than she had expected.

The Trump Administration has lifted the restrictions on the use of military gear for police. The previous ban was set in place by the Obama Administration. NBC10 Investigative Reporter Mitch Blacher has the details about how this could impact our local police forces.

A teen boy and teen girl threw large rocks at vehicles traveling on the Atlantic City Expressway during a month and a half span, injuring at least two people and smashing the windshields of ten vehicles, according to police.

Police say the 14-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl threw the rocks at vehicles traveling in the area of milepost 40 through 41 of the Expressway in Winslow Township, Camden County between July 9 and August 23. In all, police say ten vehicles were damaged and two people suffered minor injuries.

Both teens were captured on surveillance video on August 22 and later identified. Witnesses then told police they spotted the teens in the area of Kali Drive and the AC Expressway on August 25 as they were gathering rocks in a bucket. Police then responded to the area and arrested the teens.

Both suspects are charged with criminal mischief, interference with transportation, possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a weapon and aggravated assault.

The teens were lodged in the Camden County Juvenile Detention Center.

NBC10's Harry Hairston gives tips on how to be sure that when you try to help those affected by Harvey, you're not being scammed.

A Delaware County man was arrested for allegedly possessing child porn, stealing from his client and practicing law without a valid Pennsylvania license. 

Brendan Magee, 39, of Clifton Heights, is charged with possessing child pornography, the sexual abuse of children, criminal use of communication facility, unauthorized practice of law and theft by deception.

The investigation began after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) received information that a person using Google had uploaded images of suspected child pornography to his account. On June 14, Delaware County detectives and Clifton Heights Police officers executed a search warrant at Magee’s home on the 500 block of S. Church Street.

Magee, who was home at the time of the search, initially claimed his Gmail account had been hacked and shut down, denied he ever viewed child porn and claimed he didn’t currently have a computer, investigators said. As the questions continued, Magee allegedly became uncooperative and told detectives he didn’t want to continue speaking.

During the search, several pieces of digital equipment, including a laptop and several electronic devices, were confiscated. Investigators say they found more than 50 photos and one video of child porn in the equipment.

In a separate investigation, police determined Magee had been practicing law without being a licensed attorney in Pennsylvania. Investigators say Magee’s law license was suspended by the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in December, 2016 after he failed to disclose he didn’t have a valid law license and had used another attorney’s registration number while representing a client in February of 2014. Police also say Magee failed to provide services in a child custody case in December of 2014 and unlawfully took payment.

Detectives believe Magee may have also victimized other people. If you have any information on him, please call Det. Sgt. Bellis at 610-891-4717.

Magee was arraigned Friday and remanded to the George W. Hill Correctional Facility after failing to post ten percent of $350,000 bail. His preliminary hearing is set for September 7.

Four days after Harvey first slammed into Texas, residents and visitors are wading through flood and rain water to seek whatever shelter they can find. Highways have turned into rivers. Hundreds of thousands of people are without power. Countless residents have lost their homes.

Those impacted by the hurricane turned tropical storm include East Coast natives who were vacationing in Texas or have relocated there permanently. As they continue to cope, they're now sharing their stories.

All Packed With Nowhere To Go

South Philadelphia resident Amy Kurzban waited all year for her one vacation this summer. She would fly from Philadelphia through Houston and to a beach oasis on the small Caribbean island of Curacao, near Aruba.

Her plans did not include being stranded at a Best Western hotel near the Houston airport subsisting on eggs, wine and whatever she could grab from a nearby gas station.

“I made some friends last night,” Kurzban said via text message Monday morning. “We had some drinks, played cards and used the wifi while it was still working."

Kurzban called NBC10 earlier in the day, but her phone service became unreliable in the hours following her initial conversation. Several calls dropped or went straight to voicemail.

“People seem frustrated and aggravated,” she said. “There is nothing to be done."

Kurzban spent Monday driving through the area surrounding her hotel in a Best Western shuttle. She was accompanied by one driver and the owner of the hotel. A lone employee stayed behind to clean up water that poured into the lobby.

During her voyage outside, Kurzban saw a truck drive through a “pond” that collected in the hotel’s parking lot. She went to a nearby gas station for cash, snacks and beverages, but could only find two of the three.

“They were all out of cash,” she said.

About 50 guests were also marooned at Kurzban’s hotel. They had been moved up to the second and third floors as water poured in through the lobby and reception area. Power remained, but no one knew for how much longer.

Kurzban hoped to continue her journey to the Caribbean Tuesday morning. But just one hour after speaking with NBC10, the Houston airport declared it would close until Thursday.

“That’s not great news,” she said.

Welcome to Texas

Matthew Ruggle recently moved to Bellaire, Texas, a small community within the greater Houston area. While his new home has remained above water, neighbors just one mile away are still waiting for water rescues.

But these water levels are rapidly fluctuating.

“Just this morning water receded and my street is completely dry,” he said. “Yesterday the water was more than knee deep.”

Ruggles saw trucks ferrying victims out of the worst-hit areas in his immediate vicinity, including from the Braeswood Place neighborhood that houses the badly flooded Brays Bayou. On Sunday, two kayakers were pictured attempting to cross an urban river with nothing more than one paddle.

When Ruggles took his dog outside for a quick walk, he could hear helicopters overhead. It wasn’t until later that the former Philadelphia resident realized they were airlifting Harvey victims from their rooftops and other flooded locations.

“All that being said, we’ve been very fortunate,” he said. “Water was up to our front steps, our driveway was totally covered.”

Beware of Rattlesnakes

"There are dead rattlesnakes everywhere," said Scranton native Martha Lawhon, who relocated to the coastal city of Corpus Christie in the last several years.

"And the live ones are freaking out. I'm scared one is going to crawl into my office."

Lawhon is a beach operations employee and has spent the last day helping to clear the shore from debris and other rubble. Her apartment is flooded - black mold has already taken hold on the first floor ceiling. Her new house, however, weathered the storm better. She had enough time to board up all the windows before Harvey struck Friday.

"I got a new dock box," she said, explaining that it floated up to her property from somewhere else.

Lawhon spent three days without power at her sister's home several miles away. They played board games, grilled food when the rain subsided and mostly just kept each other company.

"I have coworkers who have absolutely nothing left," she said choking back tears.

"I need to know that I'm really lucky. Everybody I know is not hurt. Everything can be replaced. I just feel so bad for these people."

Police and the FBI are searching for two women who dressed up as nuns while trying to rob a bank in Tannersville, Pennsylvania.

Police say the two women entered the Citizens Bank along Route 611 in Tannersville around 12:30 p.m. Monday. The women displayed a handgun but fled before getting any cash, according to police.

The suspects are described as two Hispanic women standing between 5-feet and 5-foot 2 wearing nuns’ habits. At least one of the women was armed with a black handgun.

Both police and the FBI are investigating. If you have any information on their identity, please call 215-418-4000.

Less than a week after a New Jersey father accused of killing his 3-year-old son pleaded guilty to manslaughter, the man's lawyer is speaking out, claiming he doesn't believe his client murdered the boy.

"I'm not convinced yet that he did what the prosecution says that he did in the trial," Richard Fuschino, Jr., the attorney for David "DJ" Creato, told NBC10 Monday. "DJ Creato did not plead guilty to murder. He pleaded guilty to recklessly causing the situation that caused his son's death."

Creato, 24, was facing a September retrial after a jury failed to convict him on a murder charge in the death of his son, Brendan.

Camden County prosecutors alleged Creato, 22 at the time, murdered the pre-schooler because the father was fearful his 17-year-old girlfriend would leave him.

On Wednesday, Creato pleaded guilty to an aggravated manslaughter charge. Prosecutors said Creato admitted to depriving Brendan of oxygen to end his life. He will be sentenced up to 10 years in a state prison. He's required to serve 8 1/2 years of the sentence before being eligible for parole. Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 29.

Brendan Creato's body was discovered in a wooded area of Haddon Township by the Cooper River in Oct. 2015. DJ Creato said the boy wandered away from home and maintained that a stranger killed his son.

During the April murder trial, prosecutors argued that Brendan didn't walk into the woods alone. They said the boy was very afraid of the dark and that the boy wasn't wearing shoes, yet the soles of his bright socks were clean.

DJ Creato was also recorded by his son's mother talking about "a spirit" drawing the child into the woods. The mother, Samantha Denoto, made the recording at the request of prosecutors.

The case ended in a hung jury with prosecutors vowing to retry the man. The new trial was scheduled for Sept. 11 prior to Creato's guilty plea.

Despite the plea deal, Fuschino still maintains that Creato doesn't know what really happened the night of his son's death.

"I believe him sincere in his wondering what happened and his desire to find out what happened," Fuschino said.

Fuschino also claimed no motive was entered on the record about Creato's girlfriend disliking children and that his client feels remorseful. 

"He does feel a great deal of remorse and guilt for the fact that his son did die," Fuschino said.

DJ Creato has remained in custody since the trial ended. With the time served, Creato could be out of jail in six years. Many Haddon Township residents expressed outrage at the sentencing, believing Creato should remain behind bars for a longer amount of time. Fuschino doesn't agree however.

"If an innocent person spends the rest of his life in jail that's certainly not justice," Fuschino said. "And if a guilty person walks away Scott free that's certainly not justice. This is certainly no less a justice than that."

More problems surrounding the controversial Sunoco pipeline have surfaced in Chester County. A group claims containment structures installed by Sunoco are not only an eyesore but also a health issue. NBC10's Brandon Hudson speaks to both sides of the issue.

Eagles Trade Long Snapper Jon Dorenbos: The Magic Man is moving on. On Monday night, the Philadelphia Eagles traded their longest-tenured player Jon Dorenbos, a long snapper and fan favorite who gained additional fame as a popular contestant on NBC’s America’s Got Talent. The Eagles traded Dorenbos to the New Orleans Saints in exchange for a 7th round pick in 2019. Entering his 15th season, Dorenbos signed with the Eagles in 2006 after spending his first three years in the league with the Buffalo Bills and Tennessee Titans. During his time with the Birds, Dorenbos was named to the Pro Bowl twice and appeared in a franchise-record 162 consecutive regular season games, tying Eagles Hall of Fame wide receiver Harold Carmichael. Dorenbos' streak ended last season due to a wrist injury.

Harvey, Already a 'Landmark Event,' Threatens Round 2: At least three deaths in Texas have been blamed on Hurricane Harvey — and the storm system is expected to make landfall again sometime this week, forecasters said as torrents of water continued to cripple the region. "This is a landmark event for Texas," said Brock Long, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. "Texas has never seen an event like this.” The Weather Channel warned that "localized storm-total rain amounts of up to 50 inches are not out of the question" by later this week. "This may end up being one of the worst flood disasters in U.S. history," it added. The National Weather Service highlighted that "catastrophic and life-threatening flooding" remained a threat to southeastern Texas and portions of southwestern Louisiana early Tuesday.

Harvey has stranded a Houston couple in New Jersey, leaving them to watch the catastrophic storm from afar and unable to help their loved ones back home.

Kristin Harrison and her wife, Jahqia Harrison, had traveled to New Jersey for the Afropunk Festival in New York over the weekend, and they haven't been able to get a flight back to Houston because of the storm. Harvey, which has been blamed for at least three deaths in Texas, has left them wondering if they’ll even have a home to go back to.

"To see it go through what it’s going through right now, it almost doesn’t look like Houston," said Kristin Harrison, a Navy veteran. "My flight has been canceled twice already. I can’t help but think even when we’re allowed to fly into Houston how are we going to get to our residence?"

The couple have been looking at heartbreaking images of the storm's damage sent to them by friends and family. Jahqia Harrison said they are difficult to see, knowing their loved ones are losing homes and they are unable to help.

"It’s been hard," she said. "When stuff like this happens you want to be close to your family."

Harvey has paralyzed the nation's fourth-largest city as it spun into Texas as a Category 4 hurricane on Friday. And there's still no relief in sight from the storm that has dropped dozens of inches of rain in some spots, with more on the way.

Kristin and Jahqia Harrison, who are staying with family in Jersey City, won’t know what they have lost until they get back to Houston. All they can do now is watch and wait.

"Last night I had a hard time sleeping," Jahqia Harrison said. "I was scrolling my Instagram account and all I see is people crying out to be rescued."

A local disaster relief charity has offered to help the couple until they can get back to Houston.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
