Bethlehem Township man charged with pummeling another man who police said was dancing with his girlfriend at Molly's Irish Grille & Sports Pub.
St. Patrick’s Day is usually noted for the wearing of the green, especially at a place such as Molly’s Irish Grille & Sports Pub on SouthSide. But March 17 turned bloody red for a man who took to the dance floor with a woman at Molly’s and was attacked—allegedly by the woman’s boyfriend.

West Bethlehem man is charged with knife assault in Easton.
A man arriving for work on College Hill in Easton early on a Monday morning last June was greeted by a co-worker “wildly” swinging a serrated knife and “attempting to seriously injure him,” court records say. On Sunday night, about 10 months after the alleged incident, a 57-year-old Bethlehem man was charged with being the one who swung the knife. The records do not say how Easton police found the man who has been charged, Adalberto Morrell. But they do say that police spoke by phone with Morrell, apparently not long after the alleged incident at 512 March St. He refused to meet with police and provide a statement, the records say. A criminal complaint filed by Easton Patrolman Charles M. McMonagle says the incident occurred around 6:25 …

Anyone that can continue to beat an unconscious person should be kept away from the public. These are sick people, it goes beyond violence. There is no hope for rehabilitation for animals like this.
