Steven Figueroa, 29, is charged with terroristic threats, according to Nesquehoning police.
Officials said Figueroa called borough employees around 10:30 a.m. to complain about municipal water and sewer services. Workers told police he was "agitated, argumentative" and profane during the call.
Borough employees then received a call from the management company at Figueroa's home. They said the 29-year-old had threatened to bring a handgun to the municipal office and "start shooting," according to the release.
Police confirmed that Figueroa had owned a 9mm pistol since 2021 and the borough offices went into lockdown, authorities said.
By 1:30 p.m., Figueroa was arrested without incident. Court records show he's being held on a $10,000 bond and has a court hearing on July 10.
