Easton couple gets state prison sentence for holding up Lower Nazareth pharmacy.
An Easton couple could spend the next decade in state prison for robbing a local pharmacy to feed their drug habit, according to published reports. Gregory and Lindsey Dalrymple, both 30, received state prison terms Monday in Northampton County Court after a judge heard from a pharmacist at the Lower Nazareth Walmart who testified about being robbed by the couple last year.

That's according to the Morning Call, which notes that a second Walmart employee testified that she still has flashbacks about the robbery on Aug. 6. The Express-Times reports that Gregory got a…

Jon Joseph Njagu, 25, of Kingston is charged with retail theft and criminal conspiracy for allegedly trying to steal $2,754.98 in clothing from Kohl's in Lower Nazareth Township.
“All for one, one for all” was the motto of The Three Musketeers. It apparently wasn’t the motto of a man who allegedly walked out of Kohl’s Department Store with another man and more than $2,700 in clothes they didn’t pay for. A store employee confronted the first man -- both men were in a vehicle. He wouldn’t hand over his identification. Instead, he handed the employee a driver’s license -- of the other man. The other man has been charged. The first man, at least for now, apparently is at large. Jon Joseph Njagu, 25, of the Wilkes-Barre area town of Kingston is charged with retail theft and criminal conspiracy -- both level-three felonies -- for the Jan. 3 incident at the Lower Nazareth Township store. Information attached to a criminal…
