During a verbal confrontation outside their DuBoistown home about noon on Jan. 20,

Jermaine Frederick Jr. with a gun in his hand, told his brother “Bro, you walk up on me, I’m shooting you right in the face,” it was alleged in a South Williamsport police affidavit.

No shots were fired, and Frederick, 25, of 2612 Columbus Ave., was taken into custody without incident minutes later by an officer near Riverside Drive and Brown Street, according to the court document.

Officers seized a loaded handgun that was discovered in a shoulder bag Frederick had been carrying, police said.

Police said the victim was very upset because he saw his girlfriend riding around with Frederick in a vehicle. Frederick denied “grabbing his firearm, and stated his brother tried pulling him out of his vehicle,” and that the brother “got in his face, telling him to shoot him,” it was stated in the court document.

Police said Frederick already has a protection from abuse oder filed against him, which prohibits him from possessing a firearm.

Following his arraignment before District Judge William Solomon on misdemeanor charges of terroristic threats, carrying a firearm without a license, illegal possession of a firearm and simple assault, Frederick was jailed in lieu of $75,000 bail.
