STATE

BELLEFONTE — Jerry Sandusky's resentencing on a 45-count child sexual abuse conviction is on hold, and it's not clear when it will happen.

Judge John Foradora issued an order Monday saying the Sept. 23 proceeding won't take place as scheduled.

The former Penn State assistant football coach had been sentenced to 30 to 60 years after his 2012 jury conviction. An appeals court ruled in February that mandatory minimums had been improperly applied.

Defense lawyer Al Lindsay declined to comment on the reason for the judge's order.

Sandusky was convicted of the sexual abuse of 10 boys, including attacks on campus.

BETHLEHEM — School officials say a Lehigh University student armed with a loaded handgun and a knife has been arrested after an altercation on campus.The (Allentown) Morning Call reports that a campus-wide email says the student had been acting erratically, shouting and banging on the window of an occupied car and “actively resisted” when campus police tried to arrest him.School spokeswoman Amy White told the newspaper that while the student was in possession of weapons, he didn’t brandish them.No one was injured. Officials say the student was taken to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation and faces criminal charges.
