Man Charged for Allegedly Pointing Gun, Threatening to Kill People
A Media, PA, man has been charged with simple assault and harassment for allegedly pointing a loaded shotgun at two people, then threatening to kill four other people at a camp in the Village of Costello.
Police say on August 15, 43-year-old Patrick Brown pointed a loaded shotgun at the chest of 55-year-old Leon McClellan and at the throat of 46-year-old Nancy Shutt. Later that night, he allegedly threatened to shoot a 65-year-old woman and three teen-age boys, and pointed the gun at them at various points during the night.
Police didn't release the names of the other four victims.
The woman and the three boys fled the camp and contacted police, who set up a perimeter around the camp and engaged Brown in conversation on the front porch of the camp. During the conversation, Brown threatened suicide.
Troopers were eventually able to use a Taser on Brown and take him into custody. He was taken to a hospital for a psychiatric exam then returned to police.
He's in Potter County Jail in lieu of $30,000 cash bail.
