The city will begin a storm sewer project on W. North Street between the Parking Garage entrance and Guetter Street and will need to close eastbound traffic on North Street this week. The road will be closed to eastbound traffic between Main Street and Guetter Street from 7am to 4pm, and therefore all traffic accessing the parking garage and Guetter St will need to come off of New Street and onto North Street. Westbound North Street will remain open during the project.

The work is expected to last 5-7 days, depending on weather. Please drive carefully!

PRESS RELEASE OCTOBER 12, 2021

Ruben Carrion Melendez, 27, is facing charges of Kidnapping, Unlawful Restraint, Terroristic Threats, Recklessly Endangering Another Person, and Simple Assault. Today at 7:19 a.m., Bethlehem police received multiple 911 calls reporting a male grabbing a female and pulling her into a vehicle at 3419 Commerce Center Boulevard, Bethlehem. Police spoke with witnesses, and through investigation found that Melendez drove the victim, 25-year-old Krystal Rivera, off the road in his 2012 two-door black Honda Civic with license plate KXN4309. He then opened the victim’s driver side door of her white Nissan, forced her over to the passenger seat, and intentionally crashed her vehicle into a pole. Melendez then got back into his car, approached the victim and grabbed her hair to pull her into his vehicle, driving away at a high rate of speed. Melendez also has an active PFA order for recently stalking this victim.

At 9:15 a.m., Bethlehem police were contacted by the Port Authority Police, who located both the defendant and the victim inside the black Honda civic near the Holland Tunnel in New York. The victim was transported to the hospital for evaluation of her injuries.

“Thanks to the excellent work by the Bethlehem Police Department and the Port Authority Police, we were able to quickly find the defendant and get the victim to safety,” District Attorney Houck said. “I also want to thank the members of the media for getting this information out to the p***c, so a swift apprehension could be made. We are now working to bring the defendant back to Pennsylvania to face these serious charges.”

PRESS RELEASE OCTOBER 8, 2021
Homicide Arrest

Today, Northampton County District Attorney Terence Houck announces charges against Jose Luis Leon for the homicide of 35-year-old Elson Aviles of Bethlehem.

Leon is facing charges of criminal homicide, possessing instruments of crime, simple possession, and two counts of aggravated assault.
Just before 1 a.m. Friday, October 8, Bethlehem officers observed two individuals in the middle of the street in the 900 block of East 4th Street in Bethlehem while on patrol.

Officers approached both males, and observed one male covered in blood collapsed on the street. Officers made contact with the male, later identified as 35-year-old Elson Aviles of Bethlehem, noting he was bleeding from the neck and chest area.

While rendering end, officers observed the second male, identified as 30-year-old Jose Luis Leon, of Bethlehem, standing nearby holding a large kitchen knife. Officers ordered Leon to drop the knife. He complied and was detained. When officers asked the victim who did this, Aviles responded with, “Jose” while pointing toward Leon.

Aviles was transported to St. Luke’s Hospital – Fountain Hill, where he underwent emergency surgery. He subsequently died from his injuries.

After Leon was taken into custody, officers performed a search on his person and found one plastic bag containing a rock-like white powdery substance, and one clear baggie containing numerous white round pills. The items were field tested by Bethlehem officers, and tested positive for fentanyl with a combined weight of 23.6 grams.

Leon was then transported to Bethlehem Police Department headquarters, where he was placed in the cell block area. Once inside, Leon reached into his waistband while blading his body away from officers. Officers attempted to stop Leon from reaching into his waistband, when Leon turned toward officers and began aggressively throwing punches at the officers. One officer was punched in the face and the other twice in the head. The officers were on official police duty in full uniform at the time of the assault.

“A quick response by Bethlehem’s Patrol Unit, coupled with an immediate and intensive investigation by the Criminal Investigations Unit culminated in the swift arrest of the defendant in this case,” District Attorney Houck said. Leon was arraigned today in front of Judge Zumas and bail was denied.

As in every criminal case, the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
