A Hellertown man was arraigned on charges of reckless endangerment, terroristic threats, simple assault and disorderly conduct after he allegedly held an Airsoft gun to a woman's head and choked her, the Express-Times reported.

According to an article published by the newspaper, Randal Stoneback, 36, of the 100 block of Northampton Street, was committed to Northampton County Prison after he failed to post $25,000 bail.

Within the past six months, Stoneback has been charged with other offenses.

In May, Lower Saucon Township Police charged him with driving under the influence of a controlled substance and careless driving after he allegedly crashed into a fence while driving a Jeep in the 2400 block of Wassergass Road.

In August, Stoneback was charged with aggravated assault—a first-degree felony—after he allegedly beat his brother and broke a truck windshield with a metal stickball bat.

At that time, police said Stoneback was living in the 2500 block of Alpine Drive, Lower Saucon Township.
