Juveniles will face disorderly conduct charges for apparent joyride in Lower Macungie Township, police say.
Three Macungie-area teens recently were charged by police for making applesauce. Of course, there is no such criminal charge, but that was the essence of their actions as they tossed apples at objects from a moving motor vehicle in Lower Macungie Township Nov. 9, according to state police at Fogelsville. Officially, the charge was disorderly conduct, according to the report. The three juveniles, ages 15-17, drove through the area of Tuscany Drive about 8 p.m., police said. They threw apples from the windows of the vehicle at unspecified objects. Police did not say whether anything was struck or how much damage was done. Charges are pending in district court before District Judge Michael Faulkner of Upper Macungie Township.

It's unknown what purpose a driver had in mind recently when entering the grounds of an Upper Milford Township church camp, but he left having committed an ungodly act. According to state police at Fogelsville, a vehicle damaged the grounds at Salem Bible Church's Victory Valley Camp between 6 and 7:30 p.m. Oct. 30. A vehicle entered the camp at 7472 Sigmund Road and drove in circles, ripping up the grass, police said. The lawn would have been especially soft because of rain from Hurricane Sandy. Police noted a delay in the caretaker noticing and reporting the incident because of the bad weather conditions. No damage estimate was provided. Anyone with information about the criminal mischief activity is asked to call police at 610-395-1438.

When was the last time you saw a kid with a slingshot? While your answer may be, "Not in years," if you saw anyone with a slingshot in the overnight hours of Oct. 20 along Lower Macungie Road, state police would like to know. While the weapon of choice of mischievous juveniles such as Dennis the Menace is out of style, someone pulled one of these little trouble-makers from the back of a closet and shot some marbles with it, according to state police at Fogelsville. It isn't known how many marbles were fired, but two found windows in the 4900 block of Lower Macungie Road in Lower Macungie Township. Police said that one shattered the window of a residence, and another took out a car window at the same address. The criminal mischief incident …

Criminal mischief at PennDOT yard in Upper Milford also includes a broken latch on a locked shed, troopers say.
Any act of criminal mischief, by its very nature, causes an unnecessary mess. However, there seem to be different levels of senselessness and required cleanup. Between Oct. 12 and 19, someone entered the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation storage property at 5255 Church View Road in Upper Milford Township and helped themselves to use of a portable toilet, according to state police at Fogelsville. The person for some reason proceeded to smear feces inside the portable toilet, police said. For good measure, the person also broke a latch on a nearby locked shed, although police did not report anything missing. Anyone who might have seen suspicious activity on the PennDOT property is asked to call police at 610-395-1438.

Eleven vehicles are hit within three blocks, police say.
It must have been great fun for a time. Lobbing eggs at vehicles only to have them splatter like bursting fireworks. In fact, it must have been so much fun, that throwing eggs at just one car wouldn't do. In all, yolk ran from 11 vehicles in the early hours of July 3 in the 2900 through 3200 blocks of Sequoia Drive in Lower Macungie Township, according to state police at Fogelsville. But the fun stopped for three young men accused of throwing the eggs. Police have charged two underage boys and Braden Lawrence Rikli, 18, of Emmaus with disorderly conduct associated with tossed eggs. The incidents weren't much fun for the victims, either, although police reported that there was no permanent damage to any of the vehicles. The above arrest …
