Dark Chocolate Sold in 23 States Recalled for Undeclared Milk

0
0

A New York-based company is recalling a bunch of chocolate products, most of which were sold at Wegmans stores in nearly two dozen states, because they contain milk not declared on the list of ingredients, which could be extremely dangerous, even life-threatening, to people allergic to it. 

First Source announced the voluntary recall Monday. Both packaged chocolate, coffee beans and almonds and items sold in self-service bins are affected by the recall. 

The following 10 packaged items are affected:

  • Wegmans Dark Chocolate Almonds 23oz tub
  • Wegmans Dark Chocolate Almonds 11.5oz tub
  • Wegmans Dark Chocolate Almonds with Sea Salt and Turbinado Sugar 12oz tub
  • Wegmans Dark Chocolate Cherry-Infused Cranberries 12oz tub
  • Wegmans Dark Chocolate Strawberries 13.5oz tub
  • Alpine Valley Dark Chocolate Almonds 11.5oz tub
  • Circle K Favorites Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds 3.25oz bag
  • Tops Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds 11.5oz tub
  • Tops Dark Chocolate Coffee Beans 12oz tub
  • 7 Select Dark Chocolate Turbinado Almonds with Sea Salt 2.25oz bag 

Those were sold in 23 states including New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Texas, Vermont and Virginia from Jan. 1, 2016, to the present. 

The following products sold in bulk self-service bins at grocery stores between Jan. 1, 2016, and Oct. 30, 2017, are also affected: 

  • 15 LBS Dark Chocolate Peanuts distributed to Wegmans Food Markets, Dryden Food Market, New Brighton Food Land, Punxsutawney Country Market, and Trumansburg Shur Save,
  • 20 LBS Dark Chocolate Almonds to Wegmans Food Markets, Giant Food Store, Martin’s Food Market, and Stop N Shop
  • 25 LBS Dark Chocolate Coffee Beans Giant Food Store, Giant Food Mart, Martin’s Food Market, Wegmans Food Market, Dryden Food Market, Orchard Fresh, Stop N Shop, and Punxsutawney Country Market 

Those products were distributed in New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. 

No illnesses or reactions have been reported, and First Source says it is issuing the recall out of an abundance of caution. It found out about the issue after a supplier issued its own recall because of the milk allergen. Anyone with questions can call First Source at 1-716-389-0200.

Caught on Cam: Woman in Minivan Runs Down Man

0
0

Police are searching for a woman who ran over a man twice as he stood on a Philadelphia street last week. The incident, which Philadelphia Police Lieutenant John Walker described as "horrifying," was captured on surveillance video.

"I've seen a lot of cases in my career, and to see this car just ram into a person, run them over, and then just back up and run them over again and then slowly just drive off and watch the person squirm on the ground -- it's just a horrifying case," Walker said.

Police say the 25-year-old victim was standing on the corner of 56th Street and Wyalusing Avenue while talking on the phone on Oct. 24 around 4:30 p.m. Suddenly a minivan with a female driver, female passenger and male passenger pulled up next to him. At least one of the people inside the van then began speaking to the victim, police said.

"There seems to be some type of conversation," Walker said. "Something to the effect of, 'I didn't realize you lived in this neighborhood.'"

Walker said the male passenger inside the van then asked another man who was walking nearby whether or not he knew the victim. After the man told him he did not, the male passenger got out of the van and walked toward the victim, police said.

"We believe he's approaching this male to probably fight the person," Walker said.

As the male passenger walked toward the victim, the female driver accelerated, police said. The vehicle struck the victim and knocked him to the ground, causing him to fall underneath the front tire. The driver then ran the victim over and reversed back over the top of his body before leaving the scene.

Several passengers on a SEPTA bus ran to assist the victim who was taken to Penn Presbyterian Hospital and treated for several traumatic injuries, including a broken pelvis and a fractured femur, police said.

The victim told police he did not know anyone inside the van. Police also say the victim is a transgender man, but they have not determined whether the incident was a hate crime. Walker said it's one of the many possible motives investigators are considering.

"We don't have the motive at this time, but it's always something we look at in these investigations," Walker said. "Obviously, we take those types of crimes very seriously. And we're doing everything we can to ensure that the public is aware of what's happening and also working closely with the transgender community to make sure that if they have any information to assist in this investigation. We're all ears."

Investigators describe the vehicle as a dark blue or burgundy minivan, believed to be a Dodge Caravan or Chrysler Town & Country.

The man who got out of the van appeared to be in his 20s, standing around 6 feet tall and ran off on foot, police said. He walked away after the hit-and-run. Police have not released a description of the two women who were inside the vehicle.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Philadelphia police Southwest Detective Division at 215-686-3183 or submit a tip online.

Suspect Shot by Police at KOP Mall Now Faces Charges

0

A robbery suspect who was shot by police after allegedly trying to run down officers with a carjacked SUV inside a King of Prussia Mall parking garage on Sunday has been charged in two cases, Montgomery County authorities said Tuesday.

Kalin Jackson remains hospitalized at Paoli Hospital in serious condition following Sunday's confrontation in the mall's Green Parking Deck near Lord and Taylor, police said. Meanwhile, prosecutors filed robbery, weapons and counterfeiting charges on Tuesday, according to court records.

Jackson is accused of holding up a shopper at gunpoint inside the garage on Saturday afternoon. He returned to the same spot on Sunday and was surrounded by police.

Authorities said Jackson tried to run down officers after his SUV was surrounded. He struck three police vehicles before being shot, police said.

Investigators found a 9mm handgun — similar to one used in previous robberies — in the driver's seat of the suspect's vehicle.

That vehicle, a maroon 2012 Kia Sorento, was stolen Friday after Jackson allegedly kidnapped its owner, police said.

The victim, 87-year-old Richard Byrd, on Friday detailed for NBC10 how Jackson walked up to Byrd's home asking for jumper cables and then abducted him at gunpoint.

Jackson also allegedly stole another car moments after a shooting at a Wilmington, Delaware apartment building, police said.

No word, when Jackson would be returned to Delaware to face charges there.

Part of the massive King of Prussia Mall complex — the largest on the East Coast — was placed on lockdown for about an hour Sunday, store managers and shoppers tell NBC10. Mall management said no employees or patrons were injured.

Deliveryman Saves Allentown Man After He's Stabbed in Home

A delivery driver saved the life of an Allentown homeowner who was stabbed inside his house Tuesday morning.

Police say an unidentified suspect entered 68-year-old Matilde Malava's home on the 300 block of Bradford Street shortly around 8 a.m. After asking Malava for cigarettes, the suspect stole the man's gold necklace and then repeatedly stabbed him in the abdomen before fleeing the scene.

Malava was on the kitchen floor bleeding when a deliveryman who regularly drops off medication for him arrived at the house. The deliveryman called police and Malava was taken to the hospital where he is in serious condition but expected to survive. He is scheduled for surgery Wednesday.

Malava, also known in his neighborhood as "Ellio," is disabled and his wife passed away two years ago. News of the stabbing spread to his neighbors who are shocked by the incident.

“He got stabbed and nobody heard anything, it’s scary,” said Adele Barnes, one of his neighbors. “It’s really scary. He’s such a nice man and I can’t believe somebody would do that to him.”

Police have not released a description of the suspect. They continue to investigate.

Body Unearthed, Legend of Mass Murderer H.H. Holmes Persists

0
0

Whiskers of a 121-year-old mustache came into view of the Penn Museum archaeologists once they finally reached 10 feet deep.

Then, stunningly, the dead man’s tie could be seen amid the soupy ooze of the coffin. Outlines of a suit somehow survived being buried for more than a century.

The mystery surrounding who wore that suit into the grave has remained as resilient with the passage of time — and despite the overwhelming evidence those Penn scientists have gathered in the last few months.

It is H.H. Holmes, if the DNA evidence pulled from the remains is to be believed, lead archeologist Samantha Cox said.

For the first time, Cox and her team shared photographs from inside the grave and throughout the exhuming process. The pictures provide a fascinating look at what happens to a body after 120 years underground, and are the first glimpses of what remains of the man often described as America's first serial killer.

[[454295463, C]]

Holmes reputedly killed dozens at the “Murder Castle Hotel” in Chicago. He built the hotel equipped with secret rooms, chambers and a spot for dissections in the basement. With visitors from around the globe visiting the city’s World’s Fair in 1893, Holmes’ unwitting guests checked in but some never left.

He was eventually imprisoned at Moyamensing Prison in South Philadelphia, put on trial, and hanged in 1896 for his mass murder spree. Or so the news reports at the time say.

The legend of Holmes is a different story. His great-great-grandson, Jeff Mudgett, has long believed that his ancestor, whose real name was Herman Mudgett, faked his death and escaped the hangman’s noose.

Mudgett’s search for truth led to an eight-part television series this summer on the History Channel. As part of that show, Cox and her team led the exhumation of Holmes’ grave site at Holy Cross Cemetery in Delaware County.

NBC10 Investigators were first to unearth the growing mystery in April of the Holmes conspiracy that he escaped death. Then, in July, NBC10 exclusively reported that a search for the truth was underway — with Holy Cross Cemetery in Delaware County as the epicenter. Over the following months, fascinating findings emerged about the fate of Holmes.

[[420785123, C]]

The DNA evidence was sent to a laboratory at King’s College in London, England. Analysts there compared remains from the skull in the grave to DNA from Jeff Mudgett.

“The best that they can tell us is that the DNA is related, is a person who is related, to the living Mudgett,” Cox said.

In addition to the genetic testing, investigative research by Cox and her team found that medical records from the late 1800s matched up the serial killer with the remains in the grave.

“From a scientific standpoint, to us, there’s no doubt,” Cox said.

The archeologists documented their dig in numerous photographs that they shared with NBC10. Those pictures show surprises along the way even beyond the incredibly preserved remains: a partially harden layer of concrete requested by Holmes; an empty coffin; a wooden placard with an etching that read “H H Holmes.”

Finally, there were the skeletal and oozy remains 10 feet down.

The History Channel’s “American Ripper” series, which starred Mudgett, also chronicled the dig and the resulting tests that ultimately concluded Holmes hanged and was buried at Holy Cross.

Mudgett, however, isn’t convinced. He wants another DNA test done.

“The lab had a bias, which in a court of law, would result in the evidence being excluded,” Mudgett said.

The head of DNA analysis at King’s College, Professor Syndercombe Court, said in a statement to NBC10 that bias has nothing to do with sample-testing.

Here is the full statement from Court:

"We are an accredited laboratory that follows ISO17025 guidelines.  Analysed profiles are provided electronically from the molecular analyser and are produced independently by different analysts.  No personal identifiers are given to the samples, only unique numbers, so analysts will not be aware of what samples are being run.  Although the person reporting the results would be aware of the source of the material and indeed would have selected the appropriate analytical technique in order to answer the question at issue, their interpretation will only be based on the output from the analyser.  As professional forensic geneticists they are used to dealing with forensic evidence and presenting the results of the analysis in an objective and unbiased way.”

Trick-or-Treaters, Follow These Spooktacular Safety Tips

0

Happy Halloween to trick-or-treaters young and old.

Halloween can be a night full of fun scares, but this night is also the third deadliest day of the year for pedestrians, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and AAA.

We've put together some safety tips so that trick-or-treaters have a spooktacular night out. 

These tips were announced by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), the Delaware County Transportation Management Association, the Upper Darby Police Department and AAA Mid-Atlantic


Costumes & Candy

  • Careful with those costumes and accessories. Makes sure all pirate swords are soft and short and costumes don’t block your vision. Children should wear bright colors and carry lights.
  • Is it a trick or a treat? Check choking hazards before eating yummy treats and make sure the treats you eat are treats you trust (factory-wrapped only).

Rules of the Road

  • Be sure to obey traffic signals when crossing the street, look both ways before crossing streets, put down your phones when walking and walk on the sidewalk when there is one. If there is no sidewalk, walk on the left side of the road, facing traffic. Even the prettiest princesses, fiercest pirates, wonder women and Stranger Things characters need to abide by traffic safety rules. 
  • Show off your costumes for all to see. To make sure drivers can see you, put reflective tape or glow sticks on your costume and carry a flashlight. 
  • Trick-or-treat in a group, rather than alone.

House Rules

  • Lights off means move along. Only visit homes with their lights on.
  • Don’t go in a home without a trusted adult
  • Check to see if any sex offenders live along your trick-or-treating route.


Drivers

  • Turn your headlights on and drive carefully. Kids are on the lookout for candy, not cars, so Halloween night is the night to be extra mindful.
  • Don’t drink and drive. About 36 percent of Halloween night deadly pedestrian crashes involve a drunk driver, according to the AAA.

NBC10 hopes you have a scary fun night, so do us a favor and stick to these safety tips and tricks.

Suspect Said He Committed NYC Truck Attack for ISIS: Sources

0
0

The 29-year-old man detained after a flatbed truck zoomed down a popular lower Manhattan bike path, killing at least 8 people and injuring nearly a dozen more, left a note in the vehicle claiming he committed the attack for ISIS, according to law enforcement sources. 

Authorities said the man -- identified by sources as Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, an Uber and truck driver living in Paterson, New Jersey, -- is thought to be a "lone actor" in the attack in the Hudson River Greenway on Tuesday afternoon. U.S. counterintelligence officials added that no group has taken responsibility for the attack.

Sources said he rented the truck from a Home Depot in Passaic, drove over the George Washington Bridge and sped down the greenway for more than a dozen blocks before deliberately ramming into a school bus for children near Stuyvesant High School and P.S. 89.

The Uzbek national who is a permanent U.S. resident then shouted "Allahu Ackbar," got out of that truck and was seen running through traffic on West Street with a pellet gun and a paintball gun before being shot in the abdomen by a police officer on patrol and taken into custody. He's being treated at Bellevue Hospital.

Sources said that though Saipov lives in Paterson, he had a Florida license with a Tampa address on him when he was arrested. Police and federal agents were seen swarming the neighborhood street where he lived on Tuesday night as well as the Passaic Home Depot where he rented the flat bed truck and left his family minivan.

Residents in the area said that Saipov had a wife and two young children and that they had lived in the home on and off for about three years. Fellow Muslims in the neighborhood said that while he and his wife appeared to be practicing the faith, they only saw him at the local mosque once or twice.

"We are not like him," said Mohammed Ghaith, who goes to the mosque. "Not harmful or anything like that. I don't know what he's been through or what he went through but we should all be like peace."  

Kobiljon Matkarov, a Facebook friend of Saipov's, told NBC News that the two met while they were both living in Florida.

"He was very happy guy," said Matkarov, who is also from Uzbekistan. "he liked the US. he is no terrorist. He's all the time happy, smiling all the time."

Uber said Saipov had passed a background test to drive for the service, and that he had been banned from accessing the app after Tuesday's attack. The company added that it is reviewing Saipov's history with the service and cooperating with the FBI. 

Bekhzod Abdusamatov, meanwhile, said his parents took Saipov in at their Cincinatti home when he emigrated from Uzbekistan in 2010. He said Saipov was "polite" and that he spent most of his time outside the home before moving out after a few weeks. 

"I was shocked," Abdusamatov said. "I never would’ve imagined something like this. I never would’ve thought this guy would do something violent.”

Saipov also pleaded guilty to two traffic offenses in Pennsylvania between 2012 and 2015, according to records from the Keystone State. He was also arrested for failing to appear in court after getting another traffic citation in Missouri in 2015; he later paid a fine and served no jail time. It's not clear if he had any other criminal history beyond the traffic offenses.

Anyone with information on Saipov or the attack is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS or the FBI's tips hotline at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Was Civil War Really About 'Lack of Compromise'?

0
0

More than 150 years after the Civil War ended, Americans continue to argue over the circumstances that led up to the bloodiest conflict on our soil.

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly uncharacteristically waded into the controversy Monday night during an interview with Fox News:

“Well, history's history. And there are certain things in history that were not so good and other things that were very, very good,” he said. “I would tell you that Robert E. Lee was an honorable man. He was a man that gave up his country to fight for his state, which 150 years ago was more important than country.”

Taking a page from President Donald Trump’s remarks following the violent Charlottesville protests in August, Kelly added: “But the lack of an ability to compromise led to the Civil War, and men and women of good faith on both sides made their stand where their conscience had them make their stand.”

Civil rights leaders immediately attacked Kelly. Martin Luther King Jr.'s daughter called the comments "irresponsible and dangerous."

But one local Civil War expert said the conflict was, indeed, a failure to compromise — on the economics of slavery, not just on matters of conscience.

"Lincoln refused to compromise on the question of slavery’s expansion," Peter Carmichael, director of the Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College, said.

Meanwhile, Southern "leaders refused to compromise because they claimed it was their constitutional right to take slaves wherever they wanted.”

The South had an unfair advantage, the North contended. Their labor was free and their profits greater. When territories in the west, most notably Kansas, started to vie for independence, the question became whether slavery would follow. 

Northerners thought “‘Land in the west is my future. It is the future for my children because independence depends on land ownership,’” Carmichael said. “If slaves come in, then that land gets closed off just like wealthy Southern society is closed off.”

At the center of their disagreement was class differences among white men, he added.

“Both sides had different visions of what constituted a good and moral society,” Carmichael said. “Both sides were Christians who believed in democracy, in capitalism and shared a historical background. Where they parted was on slavery.”

Back to the question of compromise, previous agreements between the North and South had been reached. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 permitted Missouri to join the Union as a slave state in exchange for Maine being a free state. And the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 allowed western territories to decide for themselves if slavery was legal.

Given those decades of compromise, the South's secession was akin to treason.

“The act of disunion is a violation of what the founders had decreed to Americans,” Carmichael said. “This gift of union is a gift of democracy. You violate the union, you violate democracy.”

A culture war was also brewing between North and South. The North viewed their neighbors as backwards with little education and a crumbling infrastructure. The South felt belittled and attacked.

President Abraham Lincoln's election was the final straw. Most of his support came from north of the Mason-Dixon line, which put the South's clout in question. The South took a gamble, and did so not in the spirit of states' rights but instead of economic might, according to Carmichael. 

"It was the beginning of the end of their political power in Washington," he said.

At the close of the Civil War, after hundreds of thousands of people died, a revolution to end slavery had started but not necessarily ended. This brave new world left lingering echoes of racism and inequality that remain in place to this day, Carmichael said. Consider sweatshops in Asia and India, or mining in Africa.

“Race matters but within a context that is radically different than the Civil War wrought,” Carmichael said. “You can’t conflate the two because it keeps us from looking at the specific circumstances in which inequality is created and perpetuated in modern society.”

On the question of whether Lee was an “honorable man,” Carmichael said to judge him otherwise would be to discount his time and place in history.

“When faced with the world he inhabited, he made choices that would have been difficult not to make. He filled his duty as he understood it.”
