Troopers responded to 1714 Hudson Drive, Packer Township, Carbon County, at 11:35 a.m. on June 5 for an active domestic incident. On scene troopers learned the victim, a 27-year-old woman, and the suspect, a 28-year-old man, both from Weatherly, engaged in a verbal argument regarding a loan for the purchase of a motorcycle by the man.

During the argument, the victim stated she was going to call police at which time the man said he would “shoot her and the police” if she called 911. He had a pistol holstered on his hip and exited the house and shot and killed one of their chickens.

The man was taken into custody and charged with terroristic threats and harassment. He was arraigned before District Judge Joseph Homanko, of Weatherly, and committed to the county prison after failing to post bail.
