• DUI arrest in Nazareth (newportdispatch.com) — Police in Nazareth, Pa., stopped a driver who allegedly ran a red light at Easton Road and South Broad Street with a child improperly secured in the vehicle, then arrested him on DUI and related charges. Officers conducted sobriety tests, took the man to the Northampton County DUI Center, and waited until a family member arrived to care for the child. The case underscores local traffic and child safety concerns. 
• Lehigh Valley food safety report: Chicken thawing on counter, expired food in fridge, 'black mold-like substances' (mcall.com) — Several Nazareth-area food businesses, including Giant on Nazareth Pike, Pennsylvania Roadhouse, Prime Pizzeria, Modern Fusion Catering, Sweet Wildflowers, and a Kona Ice truck, recently passed state food safety inspections with no violations. The wider Lehigh Valley report also flags issues like dirty equipment, temperature problems, and mold-like substances at some non-Nazareth eateries.
