HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Amid growing demand among mothers and hospitals for breast milk, Pennsylvania is considering regulating milk donation to ban unsafe practices in sharing breast milk. The state House of Representatives voted 191-1 on Monday for legislation prohibiting the sale of human milk in Pennsylvania by any entity that isn’t licensed by the state Department of Health. The bill goes to the Senate.
An Independence Township man was arrested last night for drunken driving. After resisting arrest, threatening state troopers and his boss, Brandon Walters is now facing a multitude of charges, including making terroristic threats. Police say that Walters threatened to return to the barracks armed, and follow a trooper home, while he told the other trooper that he was going to kidnap him and make him beg for mercy. Walters is being held, while awaiting a preliminary hearing on Friday, after failing to post bail.
