HARRISBURG — A federal judge says she won't order a halt to the criminal case against former Penn State president Graham Spanier, who's accused of a criminal cover-up of complaints about Jerry Sandusky.

U.S. Middle District Judge Yvette Kane on Friday dismissed the legal action brought by Spanier against state Attorney General Kathleen Kane, whose office is prosecuting him and two other former university administrators.

Kane's memorandum says her decision is based on a principle that requires federal courts to keep out of state prosecutions in all but the most extraordinary instances.

GREENSBURG — A couple charged with locking their 5-year-old son in the trunk of their moving car — to cure his fear of darkness — will spend two years on probation in a program for first-time offenders.Jeffrey and Danielle Lenhart, both 28 of Latrobe, entered the program Thursday in Westmoreland County.The Lenharts weren’t required to plead guilty to endangerment charges, and can ask the court to expunge their arrest records if they complete probation without incident.
