Pickup truck drives onto New Jersey football field during practice; driver arrested, police say
A driver has been arrested after police say they took their pickup truck onto a South Jersey field where a football practice was taking place. Video shows the truck on the grass at the RiverWinds complex in West Deptford on Wednesday night. Sarah Howell, who filmed the video, says the truck came dangerously close to the kids practicing and the parents watching them from the sidelines. The truck then hit a light pole and appeared to come to a stop. Then, West Deptford coaches sprang into action — getting the kids off the field while some disabled the truck, she told CBS News Philadelphia. West Deptford police say the driver is in custody and charged with endangering the welfare of children, criminal mischief and a disorderly persons offense for simple assault – along with several motor vehicle charges. Police believe the driver may have intended to harm people at the complex, and detectives are working with the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office on possibly adding more charges. The driver's identity has not been released. After the incident, West Deptford will be stationing additional police officers at the RiverWinds Complex during events, the department said in a news release.

It's Farmers' Market season
It's become a warm-weather tradition for many. One morning or evening of the week, the entire family can walk, ride their bikes or take the car to visit their local Farmers' Market for everything from fresh farm-raised meat and produce to entertainment. Some markets offer themed days, some bring in artisan booths, some have new programs and opportunities each year, but all of them provide fresh food to residents and support to local farmers. The Lebanon City Market will return with a few themed days throughout the summer. On June 24, it's National Picnic Week Celebration. July 22 is Spirit of the Community Day, August has yet to be announced and Sept. 9 is Junior Market Day. 'We're also launching a new Friends of the Market program,' said Sarah Howell, event coordinator for the Heart of Lebanon. 'For $25, members receive exclusive discounts and giveaways from participating vendors and a yard sign. If they attend at least 12 markets, they'll earn a limited-edition Lebanon City Market shirt.' To register as a Friend of the Market, sign up in person at the market or online at Sponsorships and volunteers are always welcome and those interested can get more information by contacting the Heart of Lebanon team at 'We really want people to experience the market as so much more than just shopping,' Howell said. 'It's a place where you can connect with your neighbors, support local makers and growers, and enjoy a true sense of community. It's a lot of fun too and simply cannot be replaced by going to the grocery store.' The Zionsville Farmers' Market will have a weekly activity zone this year, designed for families to learn something new or enjoy a new experience, hosted by a local organization. 'For example, the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library (HMMPL) will bring their bookmobile and we have some local art studios bringing crafts,' Market Coordinator Kristin Nester explained. The Humane Society of Boone County will bring adoptable pets one week, the Zionsville Parks and Recreation will bring the Creekstomper, and more. In addition, live music returns with local favorites including Notable Measures, John Jackson and Pat McBride. 'We hope people are able to take away a sense of community and connection to our local vendors,' Nester said. 'We love that people can come listen to live music, eat local food, chat with neighbors, see local nonprofits, and have some fun at the market.' The Town of Whitestown's summer Farmers' Market will also bring back live music each week and a variety of local produce and artisan products. Unique to Whitestown, the market there is held at Main Street Park, featuring a playground and splashpad and making Thursday evenings fun for the whole family. A detailed list of themed nights and special events will be released soon. A complete list of farmers' markets in the area include: Lebanon City Market Tuesdays from 5 to 7 p.m. Downtown Lebanon, Meridian Street, Lebanon Pittsboro Farmers' Market Wednesdays from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. through Aug. 27.
