Johnson also confirmed he did not attempt to summon emergency assistance prior to discharging the weapon.

Following investigation, it was determined that criminal charges were warranted. Johnson has been arrested for aggravated assault and related charges.  He was arraigned and committed to Lycoming County Prison in lieu of $200,000.00 bail. Reynolds received medical treatment at UPMC Williamsport and later departed the facility contrary to physicians’ recommendations.
