• Plea or poop? Road rage defecator takes rehab over trial (courthousenews.com) — A bizarre Delaware County road-rage case, handled through the courthouse in Media, ended with the so‑called “Delco Pooper” entering a first‑offender rehabilitation program instead of going to trial. The story highlights her probation, anger‑management and community‑service requirements, then zooms out to recall other infamous, offbeat episodes that have put Delco in the regional spotlight.
