A Pennsylvania man who was arrested for allegedly masturbating in his vehicle while parked near a grocery store is also being investigated for his possible involvement in violent criminal activity.

Early in the morning on August 2, a home and two vehicles were damaged during a shooting that occurred in Ridley Township, but the police were still searching for the party or parties involved. A while later and a few blocks from the scene, a man was sitting in his parked vehicle in the parking lot at a Wawa store when an officer from the Ridley Township Police Department spotted the car. He reportedly became suspicious and went to see why the driver was hanging out there. According to reports, when he walked up to the vehicle, he saw more of the driver than he bargained for.

The driver reportedly had the seat reclined, and the officer believed the man was sexually pleasuring himself. When he looked around inside the car, the officer reportedly spotted a handgun, ammunition, and shell casings sitting out in the open, which led to additional problems for the man, who has a criminal record that disallows him from owning a firearm.

The mother of an elementary school student is facing charges after reportedly bringing a loaded gun to the campus, in addition to allegedly threatening an LGBTQ+ teacher.

On April 9, an incident at Valley Mills Elementary School in Indianapolis occurred, beginning with a student’s mom walking in and withdrawing her daughter’s enrollment. According to reports, her daughter’s now-former teacher gave students an assignment about flags and referenced a rainbow flag with the words “Be Kind” that was hanging in the classroom. The girl’s mom was reportedly furious about the situation, and when the teacher found out, she said the child did not have to participate. She was still unsatisfied, so she decided to homeschool her daughter for the remainder of the year.

When the woman was in the office, she reportedly became so aggressive that the staff used a silent panic alert system to alert the authorities that they needed help. Officers from the Decatur Township School Police Department showed up to assist, and they reported that they noticed something under the mother’s shirt that made them think she could be carrying a weapon. When they asked her about it, the woman reportedly said she regularly carries her handgun and forgot she had it with her. The officers unloaded the firearm and let her leave the campus.
