Sparta

Michael Wagner has taught science at Pope John High School in Sparta, a private school for grades 8-12. He is also accused of keeping a collection of child pornography on personal devices.

Fire broke out in the kitchen area of the Sparta Classic Diner on Thursday night, fire and police officials said.

Bruce Olsen, 66, of Hackettstown is charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, for distribution and possession of child sexual abuse material, prosecutors announced.

State Police say a woman is wounded and recovering, after being attacked by a black bear along a road in Sussex County.

There is a new No. 1 for 2022.

The school bus was pulling onto Route 94 but where in the turn it was remains under investigation.

A similar attempt earlier in the month, related to another attack on a dog, was unsuccessful.

Police said the dog, a Yorkshire terrier, was brought to a local animal hospital but couldn't be saved.

An 81-year-old woman was bitten on the leg Monday night and her English Springer Spaniel died.

Police called to the scene were able to locate the dog and bring it to an animal hospital, while the woman was taken to Newton Medical Center.
