Titusville man charged after state agents, local police say they seize suspected meth
Lucas J. Cherry, 45, is free after posting $300,000 bond following his arraignment Thursday afternoon on charges including three felony counts of possession with intent to deliver, according to court records. A lawyer for Cherry was not listed on his criminal docket sheet Friday morning.
Authorities said Cherry was charged in an investigation involving the state Attorney General's Bureau of Narcotics Investigation and Drug Control and the Titusville Police Department that led to a traffic stop in Titusville around noon on Thursday.
According to a spokesman for Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday, Cherry was found in possession of 653 grams of suspected crystal methamphetamine, with an estimated street value of between $15,000 and $30,000. Cherry was also found in possession of suspected cocaine, suspected crack cocaine and suspected heroin, according to the spokesman.
Authorities said the arrest stemmed from an ongoing investigation into suspected drug trafficking in the area.

"This is a substantial arrest as this amount of methamphetamine could cause significant harm in a small rural community," Sunday was quoted in an email his spokesman sent to the Erie Times-News Friday. "I commend our team and the local assisting department for bringing an end to this trafficking operation. The arrest demonstrates that our efforts to stop traffickers pedaling poison span the entire Commonwealth."

Truist bank settles lawsuit over secret website trackers
Truist, Charlotte's second largest bank, has reached a settlement over claims of embedding secret trackers on its website to collect user data. The lawsuit, filed by California resident John Tasker, accused Truist of embedding trackers into its website to collect users' behavioral data without their knowledge and relaying it to third-party advertising platforms. ALSO READ >> Truist to pay $4M in robocall settlement The complaint, filed on May 28, alleged that Truist violated the California Invasion of Privacy Act by using pixel trackers, JavaScript snippets, and cookies to gather data such as IP addresses, click paths, and device identifiers. These trackers were reportedly provided by companies including Adobe, Meta, Google, Microsoft, The Trade Desk, AdRoll, and Qualtrics. Tasker claimed that these tools operated without users' consent, functioning as surveillance devices that allowed Truist and its partners to build behavioral profiles and engage in targeted advertising. The Charlotte Business Journal reports that the details of the settlement are not known. Tasker's individual claims are expected to be dismissed, but the broader class-action claims may still proceed.
