Brandon L. Pearsall-McNealy, of East Stroudsburg, met a person at the casino on Wind Creek Boulevard Friday morning and agreed to buy marijuana, PennLive reports citing city police.

When they walked to a car in a nearby parking lot around 7:30 a.m., Pearsall-McNealy pointed a gun at the dealer and stole an ounce of marijuana and $270, the news outlet says.

The person robbed reportedly told area police that Pearsall-McNealy said that he would “blow your head off."

Pearsall-McNealy was charged with robbery, possession of a firearm when prohibited, possession of a weapon, simple assault, theft, receiving stolen property, terroristic threats, and driving on a suspended license, court records show.

He was sent to Northampton County Prison after failing to post $100,000 bail.

His preliminary hearing is set for July 13.
