Powell Jr., 23, of Bethlehem, was charged with simple assault, terroristic threats, reckless endangerment, firearms not to be carried without a license, harassment, and disorderly conduct following the incident at the Subway on Broad Street, Bethlehem Police said in a release on Friday, July 8.
Officers responding to the disturbance report at the store spoke with the employee, who claimed that a customer — later identified as Powell — had become irate about a food order around 6:55 p.m. on Thursday, July 7.
