Lehigh Valley news is too crazy to believe

There is that old saying that "the Truth is Stranger than fiction"

How strange is the Truth in the Lehigh Valley?

Here are a few of my favorite news stories Locally:

This summer A local Volunteer Fireman was arrested and charged with DUI at the scene of a fire. His fellow Volunteers called police and turned him in. While that was hanging over his head, he was arrested and charged with breaking into a home over in Bethlehem and stealing a jar of change more than six months before that.

You can't make stuff this bizarre up.

Yesterday a local Post master was arrested after he drove around his area asking random women for sex. But things really hit the fan when he propositioned three girls, two who were under thirteen years of age. Police arrested him at the post office.
Residents were shocked, but he matched the description that a twelve year old girl gave of a man doing the same a month earlier.

Then there is the local high school coach who supplied cheerleaders alcohol and had a strip pole in his basement where they "Danced". I hear he has a plea worked out, and it may have already been adjudicated.

The TV show Law and Order could mine the Lehigh Valley for stories to last another 20 seasons.

Is there something in the water?

And finally.... a local High School student worked out a plea deal that kept him out of jail, after pleading guilty to photographing up the skirts of several dozen female school mates and posting the pictures to the Internet.

With all the adults acting bonkers, I am not surprised that kids are following suit.
