Lower Saucon Township Police said Monday that an Allentown man was charged with terroristic threats, harassment and reckless endangerment, after he allegedly unloaded and pointed a gun at a woman and told her “it only takes one bullet.”

In a news release, police said Derrick Black, 24, of the 2000 block of Vine Street, went to the woman’s apartment in the 1900 block of Leithsville Road on the afternoon of June 1 and “pushed her away from the door when she tried to get away.”

Black was arrested following the incident and arraigned before District Judge David Tidd.

Police said he was committed to Northampton County Prison in lieu of $50,000 bail.
