YORK, Pa. (AP) — Authorities have dropped a simple assault charge against a Maryland man who used a dog leash to lead his wife around a Pennsylvania fair because she has late-stage dementia. Court documents show York County District Attorney Dave Sunday found the husband “made an ill-advised decision while attempting to provide his dying wife a trip to the fair.” Walter Wolford had taken his wife to the York County Fair last September. Wolford claimed he used the leash to keep his wife from getting lost.

Political signs were torched in Westmoreland County and police are now looking for the arsonist. The edges of the signs are charred and the grass is burned underneath.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Seedlings from the 9/11 survivor tree will be donated and planted in Pittsburgh as a memorial for a mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue that killed 11 people. The Callery pear tree was nursed to health after being found in the rubble after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. It’s now located at the Sept. 11 Memorial. The nonprofit that runs the memorial began to send out seedlings in 2013 to areas affected by violence or disaster.

HOUSTON (AP) — Just hours before Thursday night’s debate in Houston, former Vice President Joe Biden went up with a digital ad aimed at deflecting criticism of President Barack Obama’s administration. Biden is shown saying in footage from a campaign event that Obama “was a president our children could and did look up to.” After a debate earlier this summer in Detroit, Biden said he was surprised at the flak he took from fellow Democrats about Obama’s legacy.
