Suspect caught after chase
A chase by vehicle and foot ended at Davis Estates Apartments with the capture of one of two suspects Wednesday night. Officer David Curley said he clocked a car driven by Tracy Lynn Marable, 28, Old Pencil Mill Road, at 45 mph in a 30 mph zone on Coney Island Road. Marable allegedly sped up, ran a stop sign at the East Depot Street intersection and led officers to Anthony Lane and the apartment complex, where she and a passenger attempted to flee on foot after coming to a dead end in the parking lot. Verbal orders to stop were allegedly ignored by Marable until she "appeared to run out of breath," Curley said. "I took her to the ground to be handcuffed." The passenger, a man Marable told police she knew only as "Creep," ran behind one of the complex's buildings and disappeared.

School district will keep its art
School District of Philadelphia officials will not auction off its art collection, according to District CEO Paul Vallas and members of the School Reform Commission. "They are not going to sell," he said. "I don’t think there’s support to sell the paintings." Vallas’ comments come as there was no vote on whether to sell the district’s art collection. There was a resolution last month from former SRC member Daniel Whelan, who has since resigned from the commission. The resolution has since been tabled. A teacher and parent from Woodrow Wilson Middle School appeared in front of the SRC Wednesday at its general meeting to ask members to return its 71 paintings, which were removed. "Do not sell off our paintings," Wilson parent Marilyn Krupnick said.
