York Dispatch
A former Hanover woman who police said burned down her grandfather s home while drunk, then laughed and boasted about it, has been accepted into the county s Wellness Court program.
Lorrelei Tamor Bainbridge, 53, now with a Thomasville address, appeared in York County court on Wednesday, where she pleaded no contest to a first-degree felony charge of arson and to second-offense driving under the influence, which is a misdemeanor, according to Kyle King, spokesperson for the York County District Attorney s Office.
She was sentenced to five years of probationary supervision with DUI-related restrictive conditions that include 90 days of house arrest and six months of wearing an alcohol-monitoring ankle cuff, King said.
Study to measure York City s Group Violence Initiative might be delayed
York Dispatch
A study meant to gauge the efficacy of York City s anti-crime Group Violence Initiative could be delayed a year over fears the COVID-19 pandemic might have skewed the data.
Conducted by York College, the review was slated to be released this year, which already has seen a record number of shootings in the first quarter.
The study was made possible in 2019 through a three-year, $360,000 federal justice assistance grant meant to support the city s GVI program.
The York County District Attorney s Office applied for the grant on behalf of a partnership that includes the DA s office, the York City Police Department and York College.
