An arrest warrant for federal fugitive Shawn Christy is scheduled to be filed today at the office of District Judge Stephen Bayer of Tamaqua.

Rush Township police Chief Ken Zipovsky said Christy, 27, a McAdoo native, will be charged with burglary and a number of related offenses.

Christy is wanted for making threats to harm President Donald Trump and Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli. He is believed to be traveling afoot and living in the wilderness of Rush Township, possibly in woods lining near Ben Titus Road or Fairview Street.

Christy is white; 5 feet 10 inches tall; weighs about 160 pounds; has a tattoo of a cross on his right upper arm; short, dark blond hair; and a full beard, as seen in surveillance video from Skipper Dippers. He speaks with a detectable lisp.

Surveillance cameras caught Christy, 27, a McAdoo native, breaking into Skipper Dippers Dairy Bar and Grill in Still Creek at 10:45 p.m. Friday.

Zipovsky said Christy forced entry into the establishment by damaging the window unit to the air conditioner.

Zipovsky said Christy stole various items, including food, while in that location for about a half-hour.

On Thursday, police say Christy broke into a residence along Ben Titus Road hours after abandoning a stolen vehicle at Tide Road in Hometown.

Immediately after the burglary, the Rush Township board of supervisors issued another online warning to residents: PLEASE STAY VIGILANT. Keep your eyes open and report anyone you don’t recognize to the 911 center. His appearance and clothes are more like the picture put out (previously) of him in a store. Residents, please watch out for each other! This posting is purely informational in an attempt to keep the residents of Rush Township updated.”

Since the first report of a vehicle Christy stole in the township, Zipovsky said police have been vigorously handling a number of suspicious person and incident complaints.

Zipovsky said police are working in conjunction with the FBI, Secret Service, U.S. Marshals and state police on efforts to apprehend Christy.

In the meantime, Zipovsky cautioned residents to take “just common-sense security approaches.”

He said those include taking keys out of their vehicles, locking their vehicles and taking normal standard precautionary measures.

Federal authorities are offering a cash award of up to $20,000 for information leading to the direct arrest of Christy.

Any information will be considered confidential.

People with information should contact the U.S. Marshals at 877-Wanted-2 (877-926-8332) or the FBI at 215 -418-4000.
