Crash on I-95 in Pennsylvania, stemmed from police chase in Delaware; 2 men arrested
Two 18-year-old men were arrested after a police chase that started in Wilmington, Delaware, ended in a crash on I-95 in Chester, Pennsylvania, Thursday, police said. The chase started after Wilmington police said officers saw a vehicle that was involved in multiple police pursuits in the area this week. Officers attempted to stop the car, but the suspects rammed into two police vehicles, which caused minor damage, and then fled from law enforcement, according to police. Delaware State Police assisted Wilmington officers on the chase, which eventually led them to I-95 in Delaware County, police said. Police said the chase ended after the driver struck a median on the highway near the Commodore Barry Bridge. The two men were taken into custody without incident, police said. No injuries were reported. Both of the suspects are in custody in Pennsylvania, and charges in the commonwealth and Delaware are pending, police said.

False statement gets consultant probation in 'dark money' probe
LANSING — A fundraising consultant has been placed on probation and fined for giving a false statement in a "dark money" investigation conducted by Attorney General Dana Nessel. Sandra Baxter, 65, of Caledonia, was initially charged with perjury, which is a felony, in February 2024 but pleaded guilty in June to knowingly providing a false statement to law enforcement, which is a misdemeanor, Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a Wednesday, Aug. 13 news release. Ingham County Circuit Judge James Jamo on Aug. 13 sentenced Baxter to three months of probation, 20 hours of community service, and a $2,500 fine, Nessel said. Baxter gave a false statement during Nessel's investigation of the "dark money" financing of the Unlock Michigan campaign of 2020 and 2021, aimed at overturning Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's emergency orders during the COVID-19 pandemic. In announcing criminal charges in February 2024, Nessel accused Baxter and another political operative of enabling and lying about a scheme to allow donors to secretly provide financial support to a ballot initiative, where public disclosure of donors was required by law. Heather Lombardini, a Lansing-area political fundraiser and consultant, still faces multiple criminal charges of violating Michigan campaign finance law by soliciting contributions for the petition drive utilizing two nonprofits tied to former Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake, in order to skirt disclosure requirements. M.L. Elrick: I'll show you the money — and reveal why it's nearly impossible to say where it came from Opinion: How Michigan voting reforms screwed up campaign finance disclosure 'The Unlock Michigan investigation shed light on corruption in campaign finance that was long considered common practice," Nessel said in a news release. "Fair elections depend on transparency and honesty, and attempts to skirt the system or mislead law enforcement and the people of Michigan will not be tolerated.' An attorney for Baxter did not immediately respond to a text message seeking comment. Contact Paul Egan: 517-372-8660 or pegan@ This story was updated to add a video.
