A Lansford woman has been charged with threatening to shoot a man if he didn’t leave her home.
According to the affidavit of probable cause filed by officer Robert Lilly of the Lansford Police Department in the case against Ginger Bachman:
At 5:36 p.m. Feb. 14 Lilly was dispatched to a home in the 100 block of West Patterson Street to check on the welfare of Bachman, 53.
A man from another home on the block said Bachman was armed with a 9 mm Glock and she was “going nuts” and had pointed her gun at him in her house and said he was to leave or she would shoot him.
The man said he was only in the house because Bachman’s boyfriend/ex-boyfriend had asked him to come in.
The man said Bachman discharged a round into the wall in the basement the day before, alarming him and the other neighbors.
When Lilly entered the house, Bachman placed the pistol on the couch and walked into the kitchen.
She admitted to discharging the 9 mm Glock pistol in the basement and showed Lilly the bullet hole, about 18 inches from the ceiling where the room above was occupied.
Bachman faces charges on one count each of discharge of firearm into an occupied structure; disorderly conduct; and recklessly endangering another person.
She is currently free on $50,000 unsecured bail, and scheduled to have a preliminary hearing April 6 before District Judge Casimir T. Kosciolek of Lansford.
